Commonly called the Flying Duck Orchid it is a rare find in these here parts of Central Victoria.
A couple of weeks ago Bill and I went out to a location from last year and couldn’t find any of these orchids.
Today returning to the same spot we had just about given up when Eagle Eyed Bill spotted one single gorgeous little orchid.
We were very happy.
And then we returned later on to get a different perspective.
I recently delivered new art for the lovely shop at BUDA Castlemaine.
My range includes silk scarves, wool scarves and cotton scarves, unique hand embroidered brooches and Art under Glass one off pieces.
These images are supplied by Viv Hamilton of BUDA.

Supported by the City of Greater Bendigo, my solo exhibition (downstairs) at The Capital is finished, HOWEVER it continues upstairs until August 2025.
Here are some images from the downstairs gallery.
Tomorrow will see the opening of a project I have facilitated since receiving a grant from the City of Greater Bendigo through its Create Lab project last November.
Working with fellow cancer survivors I have developed and facilitated a Polaroid style journalling diary for each person.
Tomorrow the project will be opened at the Gobbe’ Wellness Centre, Bendigo Health.
Simone Ledwidge from the centre will open the exhibition which will run for two weeks.
It is a project that I am very proud of.
Well it took a lot of time and effort but I have at last made 3 small art books using my own handmade (recycled) paper.
Each book features a small selection of my favourite fauna images, printed onto the handmade paper.
The books will be at the Papermakers of Victoria exhibition next month, but I wanted to share them with you first, as I am so pleased with them.
While not perfect, each is unique.
This morning there were noisy visitors outside. They were on a neighbour’s tree that is very popular with the local birdlife and gives me lots of opportunities to view and photograph.
I thought it a good opportunity to test out my new Canon 1.4 lens extender.
Overall it worked well, I just need to practice more.
