Tiger Orchid

(Diuris sulphurea)

This is another of the larger orchids found in Nungurner, although it is not very common. As you can see from the photo, the distinctive yellow and black colouration gives the plant it's common name.

If you are lucky enough to see one of these orchids, it is likely to be in open forest or grassland where the soil drains well.

The tiger orchid will flower between October and December and will grow up to 40 centimetres in height.
