A new Diuris for me, described by Lachlan Copeland, he currently lists it as a Diuris sp. aff. alba (Swamps) “New England Donkey Orchid”. Found in a small area of the NTs it can be locally common, such as the place we found these, with 1-200 plants in a 100m2 area. Epic stuff!

Also in the same spot as that Diuris, had a number of carnivorous plants. A few different utricularia and drosera, any ideas on the green drosera would be appreciated Greg Bourke ? Think the red one is spatulata. #ozplants

It’s that time of year when I praise ⁦Heath Milne⁩ for germinating these beautiful Callistemon pungens form our local area. Who says native flowers can’t flower profusely?

Spent the new year up in Kutini-Payamu National Park in Far North Queensland. Was an epic trip filled with brilliant birds and some amazing herps. Here is a Green Python in ambush we found one of the evenings! #greenpython #kutinipayamunationalpark #ironrange
