There are many types of spider orchid native to Australia. This is the one that grows on my place, don't ask me what type it is... apparently they are delicious as well as spectacular as they usually disappear after a day or so but I protected this one with a bit of fencing and it lasted over a month.

More images and prints available in my Deviant art and Redbubble galleries.

What an unusual flower. Beautiful, and it does look like a spider.

It's beautiful in a strange-looking kind of way, but the photography is superb nonetheless!

Hey Sam
This flower looks so delicate! We have a few that grow wild here but I have not come across any. This one is really nice! Great clear shot! You got all the finer details in this wonderful flower.
