Some Australian terrestrials

Mid to late October in zone 6 and 7 of the Eastern US is very much like the winter many of these Aussie terrestrials experience ( as well as the conditions that many Ophrys and Orchis want during vegetative growth, as well.)

This is the variegated form of the most commonly grown species Pterostylis curta. The leaves are just stunning.

Absolutely stunning!
