Sunshine Diuris Orchid
Diuris fragrantissima
This recovery program draws on the expertise of Zoos Victoria’s horticultural staff in the propagation of the Critically Endangered Sunshine Diuris Orchid. The program is tackling the ever-increasing loss of Victoria's grassland habitat by restoring some of the remaining grassland remnants in an effort to retain the biodiversity that these ecosystems support.
The Program
The long-term goal of the Sunshine Diuris Orchid recovery program is to achieve a number of viable populations of the plant in the wild.
