Hello Paul and Shelley - to put my two bobs worth in about our lovely terrestrial orchids, I have a very similar range as you Paul, plus Hyacinth, Gastrodia and the rare and it is thought endemic, Violet Town Spider orchid (*Caladenia *species affinity *rosella *(Violet Town). They may not be as colourful as their cousins in the west but are very delicately beautiful all the same. I've never tried to grow any beyond a couple of Pterostylus species, but I doubt they're easy. I'd be interested in your list Shelley, for any future trips north.
