At the Chelsea Flower Show, Queen Camilla admired the blue sun orchid, marking the first display of native Australian orchids at the event, achieved through a significant international collaboration led by botanist Kingsley Dixon. The exhibit, which won a gold medal, showcased orchids from various regions including Australia, facilitated by the transportation of plants from Germany after overcoming bureaucratic challenges. Dixon highlighted the display’s success as a representation of Western Australia’s landscape and a symbol of recovery following the destruction of his garden in Waroona by a bushfire.
