Spring is whispering through South Australia, and the delicate, resilient native orchids are emerging.
Right now is the perfect time to see some native orchids at Black Hill Conservation Park.
In Classical Chinese Medicine, the orchid (蘭, lán) is deeply revered. It’s a symbol of purity, refinement, and quiet nobility. While the species differ, the essence resonates. The orchid reminds us to seek harmony, to bloom in our own time, and to find strength in stillness.
Seeing these local treasures reminds me of the Qi of the season—the rising, expansive Wood energy of Spring. It’s a perfect time to nurture our own Liver Qi, to move with purpose and grace, just as these beautiful plants do.
