Be noble for you are made of stars. ~Serbian Proverb.
Last Sunday I visited a display of Australian Native Orchids held by the Warringah Group of the Australian Native Orchid Society.
The orchids themselves were beyond every known superlative but unfortunately, although it was a sunny day, the inside lighting was not all that conducive to high-quality photography. ~Ally. Source.
Albeit, I'd still like to share these different species of Australian Native Orchids of various shades of yellow, cream and ochre with you for:
- @sunscape's Nature's Beauty
- @barbara-orenya's Beautiful Day
- @magicalmoments' Magical Moments
- @kalemandra's Color Challenge of Wednesday Yellow.
Simply looking at these exuberant yellow orchids, can bring you in touch with your own inner joy: Joy of being alive: Here in this moment. The supreme happiness this will bring to you is worth more than all the golden riches of the world. ~Ally.
Each of us has a unique part to play in the healing of the world. ~Marianne Williamson.

Ohhhh... I just saw the first photo and my heart went crazy! I have that plant (Dendrobium Speciosum), but as a small baby yet. I cannot wait to see those yellow blooms. And I am so jealous that you have it growing wild there.

Love your quote choices with those beautiful photos! My daughter bright me an orchid this morning that had quit blooming and the owner threw it out. My Alli rescued it and brought it to me. We'll see how I do!

Thanks so very much David. Literally thousands. I was amazed by the ones I saw at this display. Some I was already familiar with, but many I'd never seen before. Was following you. Great to connect now. 🦋

For anyone who loves orchids, it was a wonderful exhibition @pusteblume. The growers of the orchids meet once a month and I was invited to join them. I'm looking forward to learning how to grow my own orchids now.
You must have a beautiful windowsill. Would be nice to see photographs of some of your orchids too. 🦋

I have some beautiful white orchids in my studio ~ I feel they bring beauty, lighten and lift the energy of a room. 🦋

Thanks so much @ackhoo.
At the entrance, the hall seemed to be filled with the most prolific Sydney Rock Orchids I've ever seen.
Sydney Rock Orchids ~ First three images ~ Often seen in suburban gardens and sometimes in street nature strips, are not as rare as some of the others. But then as I started wondering, I saw the smaller and more unusual ones.
Unfortunately, the lighting was on the dim side. And some so tiny: A macro would have been great.
The last image is a spider orchid ~ I think. Initially I was writing all the names down, but as time started flying, I focused on photographing as much as possible. I'll be SO much more prepared next time. 🦋

The images are totally unique and my own. I use a similar format for my camera setting. But then each setting is that of the specific photograph.
Perhaps the quotes by Marianne Williamson? Although I did indicate these were quotes with the commonly used symbol of '~'
I have now edited these quotes using Markdown.
This article is the second in a series of articles showing 'Australian Native Orchids' so some of the words and phrases used are the same.
I used one sentance from the first of the series as a quote (from myself) and cited the Source.
Apart from that I frequently mention these Steemians when my work is contributed to their challenges and or galleries:
As well as using a signature for: 'My recent articles' and 'Gallery: Magical Moments' ~ Which I presume is allowable?
Will appreciate any feedback as my work is genuinely original.

I have no doubt your work is original and beautiful. The bot is simply designed to check text and not images. That is why it caught the quotes.
The photos are really spectacular.

Thanks so much for the clarification @unprovoked.
My work to date has been more visual than textual. Although, since sharing my art work at Steemit, I'm finding that I like to be creative with writing now too.
I respect the service you are offering and I'll know when to use it more appropriately now.
Truly delighted that you appreciate the unique beauty of these wildflowers. 🦋
