Encouraged by the sightings of C. montanus, I thought I'd check on some Calochilus I found a month ago. They did not disappoint!

Amazing, I leave town for a few days and I miss all the beard orchid action. I'm going orchid hunting this weekend!

I can show you where these guys are if you like. Apparently each flower lasts only a few days...

C. montanus and C. saprophyticus are very similar, possibly the same species!
