We found Bunny Orchids in Torndirrup National Park. My friend and I went for a short drive from my place and soon spotted one of these little beauties. We walked along the side of the road and found there were many of these beautiful orchids to see and photograph. To get close enough to get a photo of these rather small flowers you need to get down very low, at times lying on the ground!
Eriochilus dilatatus - Bunny Orchid
When you hunt for orchids there are always other treasures to find and today was no exception, these beautiful wildflowers grow in the coastal heath which has an abundance of life and invites you to search out and find some of it's wonderful and interesting plants; there's been very little rain on the South Coast the last few months so the bush is very dry, but I will continue to search for the treasures of this beautiful region and pray for rain.
