This is a beauty, just look at the length of those petals. Would you mind telling me where you found this.

Thank you, they are very amazing flowers. They blend in really well with the bush and you can walk past and not notice them there. I took these photos in Margaret River, Western Australia. This particular wild orchid is an endangered species and only found in that region. If you want to see other varieties of wild orchids have a look at :iconmroysterhead:

I live in Western Australia too, so I'm familiar with the beauty of our bush. And I agree, many of our orchids are difficult to see. We have a great natural bush area in Frankland and we are also quite near to the Stirling Range, but I don't get over to the Margaret River area very often. I've also been in contact with :iconmroysterhead: and thank you for the link.
