Microtis unifolia (common onion orchid) growing amongst the sun orchids at the back of the house, Corunna, NSW. Flowers are very small - standard Aussie fly included for scale.

Grows here alongside a more robust form of M. parviflora (slender onion orchid) which has longer flowering stems with less crowded flowers.

Roadside onion orchids (Microtis sp.) near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC. Maybe M. parviflora although some recent reclassifications split this widespread species into 3 x species in VIC. Tip of little finger here for scale - individual flowers are very small!

Onion orchids (Microtis sp.) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC. Probably Microtis parviflora - slender onion orchid - although several other similar species occur nearby and some hybrids occur. Flowers are very small (only 2mm x 2mm) and not as colourful as other local orchids - but still interesting!

Opportunity orchids! Did not expect to find #microtis onion orchids on my arvo walk! Look at these, hiding amongst the weeds. Literal footpath finds!
