Desert Flora

[Man From Ironbark]

Though not quite desert, the semi-arid lands have these and other small terrestrial orchids, remaining only on the arid hills too rocky for grazing or cropping pursuits.


Pterostylis nutans. Dwarf Greenhood.
Each plant has a single flower. Here seen having an apparent cuddle.

There are also such plants as this Twining Glycine, which will ramble over the ground and shrubbery. Creating a lovely purple glow.



That's my fence in the background. I planted the tree before it grew and died and I planted the glycine.
