User's notes

These seemed to be quite common around Jerrabomberra. Looks like some type of donkey orchid but I haven’t really seen anything that looks exactly like them. I included one picture of the orchids with shorter petals on the bottom (perhaps a fresher flower) and another picture featuring orchids with longer bottom petals for comparison.

Saw another recent sighting and turns out it looks like it’s a Tiger Orchid.
