The spectacular, if rather unusual, Warty Hammer Orchids (Drakaea livida) have started flowering in the #PerthHills growing in sandy soils #orchids #biodiversity #ozflora #ozplants

One of the more common #orchids seen in south west WA is the Cowslip Orchid (Caladenia flava). They seem a little later to flower in our part of the #PerthHills this year #orchid #biodiversity #ozflora #ozplants

It looked like these Bird Orchids (Pterostylis barbata) were having a meeting. These rather unusual looking orchids have so much character #orchids #biodiversity #ozflora #ozplants

The gorgeous and charismatic Numbat, or Walpurti, gets my vote for Marsupial of the Year. These gorgeous termite eaters are listed as endangered with their range now restricted to several small colonies in the south west of Western Australia #biodiversity #wildoz #numbat
