Alison are you sure about that name as I am unaware it is known in the ACT, did you mean peniculata?

I think we now call these things T peniculata, and holmesii in southern Victoria, SA and TAS. Curious to see the flowers when they open :)

Thanks Derek. My finger must have slipped at the last minute. Yes I did mean T. peniculata.

Would you be happy if we at this stage leave it as Thelymitra sp. and you add some photos when it flowers or are confident?

Hi Derek,
I'm confident. I checked again today. Still not quite in flower, however, this sighting from last year is the same location.
Thelymitra peniculata (Blue Star Sun-orchid)
