Cupped Banded Greenhood - one of the weird ones!


There are so many wonderful places to check out our Western Australian Native Orchids, and I like wandering around the bush with my eyes down looking for its treasures.

There are some very unusual and very unique flowers amongst our Native Orchids, this one is a Cupped Banded Greenhood - Pterostylis concava, weird isn't it? My book 'Orchids of South-West Australia' states - 'The orchid is not common'. I'm so glad I found it.

When I look at this, I think, is this actually a flower? I probably saw these years ago but didn't know what they were. Now I know they're part of the wonderful family of flora that inhabits the bush and is waiting for me to find and photograph.
