Purple hyacinth orchid (Dipodium punctatum) at Mystery Bay, NSW. Only one plant out and only just starting to flower in late February near the ocean. I usually see this species flowering nearby from late November - this is probably the latest flowering I have seen (although it can apparently flower into March at some locations). #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Ecology #Botany #Photography #Sprin196 views Purple hyacinth orchid (Dipodium punctatum) at Mystery Bay, NSW.
