User's notes

Lachlan Copeland reckons either a Thely or a Calochilus. I'm leaning towards Thelymitra as they are incredibly abundant here and the nearest patch of Calochilus is a kilometre or two away. Either way, first time I've spotted their winter foliage (and first I knew that they put up their leaves so early!).
