Yesterday we enjoyed the excitement of sharing some of our natural orchids with some enthusiasts from the Gold Coast. Teresa Clifford from the Stanthorpe & Granite Belt Rare Wildflower Consortium introduced us and I thank Brad & Clare for the beautiful pictures below. We are very lucky to have such natural treasures on our 300 acre property here at Earth & Soul. We have a rough common knowledge of our little treasures, so it was good to get some more scientific identification and put a name to a face (so to speak). The Dipodium Hamiltonianium is commonly referred to as a Yellow Hyacinth. This little fellow is quite rare. This is the second one we have found on the property and this is the second year in a row that we have had an appearance.  Dipodium Hamiltonianium  Dipodium Hamiltonianium  Dipodium Hamiltonianium The Dipodium Roseum is commonly known as the Pink Hyacinth.

Have a merry Christmas. See you in the New Year. Regards... Mark & Donna
