Diuris punctata – Purple Donkey Orchid

Diuris punctata is a stunning pink-coloured donkey orchid native to SE Australia. This population was growing in Melbourne.

Diuris punctata is known for its large purple blooms. Its sepals are especially long. I found this population in the plains around the Grampians.

Diuris abbreviata growing wild in the Warrumbungles in September 2018.
