Today’s #orchid:
Coelia bella is a species of orchid native to Central America . It produces trumpet-shaped flowers that are intensely fragrant, with a smell like marzipan. [wiki]
I took this pic at our orchid society live auction. Just one photo of an immense plant! It was HUGE!

This bright no-ID #orchid is blooming today in #MyGarden. You can see how the color changes as the blooms age. More pink shows up in the newer blooms. 🌱 #Plants #Flowers #FlowerReport #BloomScrolling #Orchids

Black-hooded sun orchid (Thelymitra atronitida) near Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. This uncommon species tends to be very shy to flower - usually only see one or two flowers open briefly on warm/humid mornings. A nice patch of plants at this location but only one flower open. #orchids #inthefield
