Description

The fallen tree took down everything around, so all upper rainforest levels including the canopy were on the ground. You could find a lot of interesting plants (ferns, orchids...) here, what normally would be far up in the trees.

You can see on the foreground Thelychiton speciosus syn. Dendrobium speciosum Common names: Rock orchid, King orchid, Cedarvale orchids asgap.org.au/d-spe.html ID credit to Füzzy Mijmark.

Widespread Australian orchid, perhaps the most popular orchid in the world today.(Ross Harvey). It is easy to grow in tropical to temperate climates. It can be grown on branches of trees or on rocks. The showy flowers grow in long racemes on straight or slowly arching, long, starchy stems with over 100 flowers per stem from August to October. Their colour varies from white to creamy yellow.
