That's a bit of an unusual observation. I would have expected them to occur in wetter areas such as closer to a creek.

Indeed! The southern side of the Mountain appears to hold the moisture very well - P. nutans and C. hispida is all over the place rather than in drainage lines also.

Yeah. I have found that slope to be excellent for orchids, but I wasn't aware P. curta occurred there. Admittedly I haven't spent much time out there in spring. There are a few other interesting things to look out for now including Chiloglottis trapeziformis in some of the gullies.

According to our field guides, this is a first for Mt Jerra.

Like Aaron said - it's a great season. I've not seen P. curta there before either. the C. trapz site that I checked wasn't out just yet. couple more weeks.

This season is a really good opportunity to find a few species for the first time that haven't been reported before. E.g. I'd be surprised if my B. umbrina at Piney Ridge flowers every year.

There are so many B. umbrina around this year! I need to get onto uploading them. Mt Jerra, Cuumbeun, tralee Hills, Rob Roy...
