New Wiki pages

Hi,

I'm not finding the time to add many of my Australia pictures, but have
done two new pages. Both of these genera are endemic to Western
Australia. The first reminded us a little of another genus found in
Australia, Orthrosanthus, that I grow and we saw, but I didn't think that
was right. I couldn't find any pictures in the wildflower guides we had
along to figure out what it was. I'm sure I've sorted it out since however
and it is Agrostocrinum:

You can take your choice for what family it belongs to: Phormiaceae,
Hemerocallidaceae or Xanthorrhoeaceae. I was lucky to find an article
online that helped me sort out what species we saw. I'm always thrilled
with the generosity of authors and journals when information like this is
shared without a charge so I linked to it on our wiki page.

The second is one of the terrestrial orchids, commonly called enamel
orchids because of their sheen.
