    Default Pterostylis curta

    This is a nice little Pterostylis/Greenhood orchid native to NZ and Australia (as far as i am aware). It has short spikes each holding a single bloom. There are aprox. 15 in this pot

    A new addition from the show last weekend...

    I imagine it would be widespread in terms of availability in Australia, although, this is only the second time i have seen it for sale here (then again, i havnt been going to shows THAT often have i? )

    You don't see many native orchids for sale here too (apart from Den speciosum, kingianum and some sarcs!), I believe it would be common among Australian native orchid collectors, have to attend next Australian Native Orchid Society show (ANOS) to find out

    What a great-looking little plant. It's so full and healthy. You must get a pretty good allowance - if so, we all thank your parents! What a great investment.
