Small sun orchids (Thelymitra sp.) at Corunna, NSW (tip of my little finger included here for scale). Quite a bit of variation at this location with a mix of blue and pink flowers and maybe both T. pauciflora and T. peniculata represented. #orchids #ozplants #inthefield

Diuris punctata (purple donkey orchid) starting to flower, East Gippsland, VIC. Was a bit early this year for the really spectacular tall plants with 4-5 flowers but still found some nice early forms up and out. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Short-lip Leek-orchid (Prasophyllum brevilabre) near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. Like all other leek orchids the flowers are 'up-side down' with the labellum at the top of the flower rather than pointing down at the bottom. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Some nice variations in the late-flowering sun orchids with spots (Thelymitra ixioides/Thelymitra juncifolia) near Genoa, E. Gippsland, VIC. These later flowering forms generally have fewer/smaller flowers on shorter flowering stems with a lot of variation in spot size + number #orchids #inthefield

Diuris sulphurea (tiger or hornet orchid) near the Genoa River, VIC. These were the only yellow Diuris I saw on my last far East Gippsland day-trip - was a bit late for the early species and the tigers were a bit scarce due to the drier conditions. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Tailed leek orchid (Prasophyllum appendiculatum) in Croajingolong NP, East Gippsland, VIC. Regarded as endangered in VIC (rare in NSW) and often only seen after fires. But good early numbers out this spring despite the drier conditions. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near the Genoa Rr, East Gippsland, VIC. Only a handful of plants still in flower on this visit as drier conditions may have slightly curtailed the flowering season. Most plants here have fewer/smaller flowers than this more typical form. #orchids #inthefield

Purple donkey orchids (Diuris punctata) starting to flower, East Gippsland, VIC. Mostly only single flowers out on this visit but plenty of buds still to open. A fairly widespread sp. in VIC/NSW but regarded as vulnerable in VIC due to habitat depletion. #orchids #inthefield #biodiversity

Prasophyllum brevilabre (Short-lip Leek-orchid) near Mallacoota, VIC. In many places this species is only seen after fires but at this location the odd plant appears from time to time even in non-fire affected seasons. #orchids #inthefield #OzPLants

Caladenia hillmanii (purple-heart fingers) near Hyams Beach, NSW. This is a good location to see this early spring-flowering orchid with some nice variations out from as early as late August. #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Botany #Spring #InTheField #Caladenia #BloomScrolling #WildFlowers

Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near Hyam's Beach, NSW - another coastal location where most of the flowers have no spots. Flowering had already pretty much finished here in mid-September with only a handful of plants still out. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants #biodiversity

Grevillea patulifolia in coastal heathland near Ulladulla, NSW. The similar G. linearifolia also grows at this location with some plants possible intergrades. Prob the best G. patulifolia I've seen in terms of horticultural potential (also the form with the palest flowers). #grevilleas #inthefield

Flannel flowers (Actinotus helianthi) in coastal heathland near Ulladulla, NSW (generally regarded as the southern limit of this distinctive species). Very popular with a range of the smaller local pollinators on this sunny but cool spring morning! #Wildflowers #OzPlants #InTheField #Biodiversity

First flying ducks (Caleana major - large duck orchid) of the spring near Jervis Bay, NSW. Out pretty early here compared to the ducks I see most seasons further south in East Gippsland - often as late as mid-November. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants #biodiversity #wildflowers
