Field trip to Anglesea, Victoria


Recommended Posts

Hi guys

Last weekend Sean, Julian, Kyrill and I went on a field trip to visit the native Drosera and Orchids in the wild at Anglesea, Victoria.

I hadn't been back there since 2005 and was pretty happy that we managed to find 6 species of Drosera and 11 species of Orchid in flower which made it quite a successful day.

Here's a few of the best.

Cheers

And here's some photos of native orchids in flower that grow in the same areas as the CP's and make the field trip even better.

Cheers

Thanks guys, when they're in flower the orchids are stunning and we're lucky to have so many of them growing near or side by side with Cp's.

Credit must be given to Sean and Kyrill for their knowledge and taking me to see these plants.

Cheers

Steve
