As the nights get longer and the days get shorter here in the Great Southern Region of Western Australia we're going into Autumn, the leaves on the Eucalypts and the Peppermint Trees don't change colour or fall but when I walk near the beach or in the bush I'm reminded things are changing; the native orchids are appearing, and it's a very exciting time of the year for an Orchid Hunter! I find that my walks take longer as I look carefully to see if I can find an elusive little native orchid alongside the sandy tracks.
These are just the beginning, it's so exciting to find them in the bush, most are quite small and they're often hiding in the most unlikely and hard to get at places.
