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!
