Sun orchid (Thelymitra sp.) and onion orchid (Microtis sp.) growing together on the edge of Corymbia maculata forest near Corunna, NSW (spring 2025).
This semi-cleared location is a local orchid 'hot-spot' (at least for Corunna!) with beard orchids (Calochilus) also found here in spring. However it is also on privately-owned land which has changed hands since last season and might be more developed this year. So hopefully any works there will not damage the orchids - which will already be battling the very dry local conditions this year!

Large duck orchid (Caleana major) and sun orchid with spots (Thelymitra ixioides / Thelymitra juncifolia) near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.
Only made it down to East Gippsland on three mornings this spring / early-summer but still managed to see a good range of the regular locals (plus a couple of interesting new ones!)
