23.01.2022 THE QUEEN OF THE STIRLINGS The flowers of the rare Eastern Queen of Sheba (thelymitra speciosa) are gorgeous, but did you know the leaves are also very inte...resting? These pictures were taken by Terry Dunham in the Stirling Range National Park over the past week. He said the spiral leaves in the first photo are a great example of the leaf structure of these stunning orchids. The Eastern Queen of Sheba belongs to the spiralis complex of sun orchids that we have here in WA. Terry Dunham / The Wildflower Society of Western Australia (Inc.).

Perhaps you visited as a tourist to watch a whale being flensed, remember the smell drift over town, or had a family member who worked for the company? We would love to hear your stories, so share them in the comments.
