Austral Ladies'-Tresses (Spiranthes australis)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
Mostly we see this species in grassland in wet summers around a couple of our dams where the soil stays moist longest. This one was in quite a dry spot, and disturbed and weedy. It might get a little bit of extra run-off from the nearby road perhaps.

Midge Orchids (Genus Genoplesium)Observer
jackiemilesDescription
A group of 6 very tiny midge orchids on the edge of a bog at 1000m elevation. The tallest was about 95mm total height. The yellow flowers appear to be ones that have been fertilised. I'm thinking either G. arrecta, archeri or turfosa.
