Rattle Beaks

Congratulations on your SOTD Felix! Great spotting. I've been amongst the Marri and Jarrah trees and have clearly overlooked this lovely little plant. Thank you for sharing, and the next time I'm down that way I will try and remember the Rattle Beak. Wicked name :D

Congratulations Felix! Beautiful orchid with a great name!

Beautiful find Felix,congrats on the well deserved SOTD and thanks for sharing

Congratulations Felix.

Congrats on this much-deserved SOTD, Felix. This is such a bizarre flower.

Congratulations Felix, your Rattle Beaks is our Spotting of the Day! Still trying to find out what part of the plant rattles...! The white fleshy hairs on the lip? "So named because it rattles when shaken! This Rattle Beaks (Lyperanthus serratus) is our Spotting of the Day. Lyperanthus, commonly known as beak orchids, is a genus of orchids endemic to Australia. Lyperanthus serratus is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia".

Very peculiar looking...I have seen rattlepods; the seedpods rattle but this one is mighty strange! Thanks for sharing...otherwise I would never have known this species....

Very interesting. I wonder what part of the flower rattles? They definitely look like beaks too.
