DANCING ORCHID

I spent the morning at Wireless Hill - a natural reserve in Melville.
In its previous life, Wireless Hill was a place of communication for thousands of years.  The Noongar Beeliar Aboriginal people used the hill as a lookout and for smoke signals.
Wireless Hill Station was one of Australia's first links with radio technology and was used for telecommunications during the two World Wars.
Now the hill  is a great place for a wander in spring to see the wildflowers. 

The blip is a Dancing Orchid.
In extras are:
1.  Donkey Orchid
2.  Rattle Beak Orchid
3.  Pink flower (?)
4.  and 5.  Sundew.  Carnivorous. The sundew has tiny arms covered at the tips with sticky filaments.  These filaments secrete a substance that will not only catch small prey but will also digest them.  The arms fold in to hold the insect for four to six days until it is completely digested.
You can see the plant (#5) has captured some insects.
6.  Jug Orchid
7.  Spider Orchid
8.  Pea shaped flower.  Name unknown.  I loved the edge patterning in the light.  

Thanks, Anni for hosting Flower Friday.
