Been back and had another look at them this morning.  Just stunning.  Some excellent pics of the Aussie natives.... the flying duck orchid was lovely to see as I grew up with them on the farm we had..... they really do look like little flying ducks.  I wish we still had that farm!  If I knew then what I know now.  :'(

Mark,

That first link contains more than 30 galleries, plus nearly 500 images on the main page.  That is a LOT of pictures, and they're very impressive photography!!!!  :o :o

And on top of that.... the European link has around 300 pictures, including Dactylorhiza, Ophrys, Cypripediums etc.  Stunning pics!!

Thanks heaps for the links, Mark.  I'll be bookmarking and going back to those in the future!! 8)
