Sydney Rock Orchid
Dendrobium speciosum
“A spectacular epiphytic orchid with stout swollen pseudobulbs, found in clumps on cliffs and rock ledges…” - NPOS p.262
Sometimes called the rock orchid or rock lily. There are a few of these on the rocks in the front yard (where the picture was taken). In some places they are competing with some Agapanthus which I will remove at some stage.
