Awesome Aussie Orchids
The South-West of Western Australia has more than 350 terrestrial orchid species. Found in a diverse range of habitats: heaths, sandplains, seasonally wet swamplands and river courses to tall forests, arid and semi-arid deserts, rocky outcrops and mountain peaks. I have been fascinated with our native orchids since I went on an orchid tour through the Stirling Ranges as a teenager.
Our native orchids and learning about their unique relationship with fungi and pollinators is what started me on my journey to become a conservationist and environmental scientist, before settling into the family business at the Porongurup Shop.
