So, I went down there again for the lesser butterfly-orchid, and there it was, in full bloom. But, I could of course not resist all the others… A few weeks every year they are there for us to admire and marvel. So, here we go again. The orchid I came for this evening was the two white ones in the middle section.
To get the most out of a visit to the lesser butterfly- orchid, you should come late in the evening. The otherworldly scent can not be felt in sunshine.

It is so magical to crouch down to look at a small flower and then discover it’s an orchid. I didn’t know about the fragrance being better in the evening though; I’ve always only discovered orchids on daytime hikes…
Always something new!
Breathtaking sight! Thank you for taking us there. 🙂
A place to return to. Thank you!
What a wonderful sight! So many orchids
It’s their time now…
How very beautiful to me but all new also! Have to do some homework as have not seen such in orchid-loving Australia!

Oh, my, these are gorgeous! I love the light in your photos.
Thank you, Egidio, late evening makes them glow!
Marvellous moments.
Indeed, I go every year to feel the magic.
Stunning orchids. You are so fortunate to see so many.
I am fortunate, yes, they are only 7 minutes away!
Orchid heaven 🤗💜
Magical!
Oh these are beautiful, and so many of them!
It is their time now – I always go to feel the magic!
Never seen so many orchids in one single place (first and last picture). The white ones are awesome, didn’t know about the smell.
Thank you, yes, I am lucky to have them near every year! The white one is known for its scent that will put a spell on you and your loved one…
