User's notes

Absolutely no idea what this one is. Colour looks a lot darker than the Thelymitra I'm used to.

Matt was this sighting in or out of one of your plots?

It was not in any of my plots. Mine are all on Black Mountain. I intend to complete my remaining plots over the next few days.

Cath, does this look like Lyperanthus to you?

I'm not sure what it looks like. Maybe you could show it to me on Friday, Matt.

I found this plant today. The way the light was catching it, it was clearly quite hairy, so I think it's likely to be one of the Caladenias - either moschata or cucullata. There were other smaller ones nearby.

The size of the plant and leaf (which appears ribbed) is puzzling. Better keep an eye on it and don't let it get eaten.

Flowers are now open, and I can confirm it is Caladenia moschata (sighting 3362669).
