Early spring roadside orchids out near Mallacoota, VIC this week. Only a few scattered plants in flower at this spot but still worth stopping the car to see spotted donkeys, waxlips + several Caladenias (dusky & white fingers) growing close together. Lots of sun orchids - and a few beard orchids - also in bud at this location so these will be out and flowering in the next few weeks if the sun comes out and temps rise a bit!
