FredG Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 My first time to flower this Greenhood orchid species. It flowers at twice the height of Pterostylis coccinea but the flowers are half the size. It's still opening so the 'whiskers' are not quite straight. Pterostylis fischii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tropicbreeze Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 Great photos. I've always been fascinated by Pterostylis orchids. Coincidentally, I've only just got back from a trip where I managed to find and photograph some species in habitat. The most interesting were P. recurva and P. barbata.

Rachel Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 What an unusual and quirky plant. t looks like a cross between an arisaema and a cypripedium. I love it and congratulations on your achievement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
