Austria’s and New Zealand share a few species of orchids, including the photographed species which is rare here. In Australia a few species of orchids have been propagated, and that can be a difficult task, but it is probably harder to introduce orchids back into the wild. This is why the vegetation needs to be protected, whether it contains rare or common species. The presence of orchids on a site will indicate that the site is of fair quality.
