Christmas Leek Orchid

Joanna went horse riding at the Nicols in Karridale with Terry while I went for a walk in the bush. Discovered a leek orchid called the Christmas Leek Orchid, Praesophyllum brownii (it was first collected by Robert Brown in Albany in December 1801).








Joanna and Terry returning from a horse ride around the blue gum plantation.  The leek orchid was down in that creek line to the right.
