The First Day of Spring - in Australia

I went for a stroll in the Caboolture Historical Village garden today and found some wonderful flowers in bloom.

I wonder why the orchids are all looking towards to ground. Perhaps they are tree orchids and should have been planted on the side of a tree - and high up.  

Wonderful to see on the first day of Spring, September 1st, 2015.
