Photo Dendrobium speciosum by Eldon Ormsby

Dendrobium speciosum is not only a widespread Australian orchid but also a very variable orchid, forming a species complex. Its varieties can be found in wildly varying habitats as an epiphyte (on branches of rainforest trees) or a lithophyte (on sandstone in open forest) in a continuous distribution along the east coast of Australia and in distinct populations along the Tropic of Capricorn. As a lithophyte, it forms gigantic clumps on rocks and cliff faces with its roots forming dense, matted beds across the rock. It can be found from sea level to mountain tops.(Wikipedia)
