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.

It's interesting that you've noticed a difference in bloom times between the two locations. Do you think the warmer weather near Jervis Bay might be contributing to the earlier bloom?
