Congrats @BrendanJanissen (@RMIT), recipient of the 2022 #AusJBotany Student Prize!
His research aimed to improve poor germination in vitro of the endangered orchid Caladenia robinsonii, and to predict the potential impacts of climate change.

Yet another Threatened species is doing well on the Gunbower Forest Ramsar floodplain.
The floodplain rustyhood is in the orchid family and is found in only a handful of places in Australia.
In 2020 we recorded 22 plants. Last year there were 81. This year there are 89.

It’s not often you get the chance to ⬆️ the size of a threatened species’ population in 1 month, let alone the population of 3 threatened species. Yet this is what the wild #orchids project achieved in July this year. #SavingOurSpecies

For those of you into the dark arts of sun orchid taxonomy, enjoy the inner workings of the appropriately named Mauve-tufted Sun-orchid (Thelymitra malvina) flower. Love that translucent blue column as well... Just one of the orchids seen today near the bay in the 2nd picture.

Time for the donkey orchids to glitter. This is the Leopard Orchid (Diuris pardina) in remnant bush 22 km east of the Melbourne CBD.
Plant diversity will persist, but it needs a helping hand...

For those who are not native orchid dilettantes, the delight in finding this slug on a leaf (otherwise known as Corybas acontiflorus) may pass you by. Upper Beaconsfield way...

The native orchid is one of the greatest horticultural treasures. We were amazed to discover the rare Red Beak orchids thriving in the post bushfire environment of the 2019-2020 bushfires at Cape Conran Coastal Park in East Gippsland.
