Spotted sun orchids (Thelymitra ixioides) near Narrabarba, NSW - finally came across some actual spotted flowers on this spotted species! Fairly typical far south coast plants at this location - with most just starting to flower. Already good numbers out (and quite a few still in bud) despite dry conditions.

These were the only sun orchid species I could see out at this location - later saw several more species as I traveled further south into East Gippsland, VIC.

From the ground (which is where it all counts!) that crossover looked like this. Right in front of crowd centre; we timed it perfectly.
