A visit to a friend

Orchids in a friend's garden, Cranbourne

Our holiday in Victoria

September 2007

We’ve only known Doug and his wife for several years. We met through our common interest in Australian native plants. We had first met them when they came to the Adelaide plant sale which we attend. Doug has planted much of his garden with native plants, especially Correas. Both of us really love correas too. We were planning to visit the Cranbourne Botanic Gardens which are a mere five minute drive from Doug’s home, so we just had to visit him.

We knew that he grew plenty of Australian native plants. What we didn’t know was that his wife was growing orchids. Several of them are featured in the photos on this page.
