The first orchids of the season at Wirra Birra have sprung up in the last week or two.
These little guys are mosquito orchids (Acianthus exsertus) - tiny things, and not particularly spectacular as orchids go. They're tough to get a good photo of, and not from want of practice.
But always good to see them and, as in this case, to discover them in new places on the property. I spent an hour or so weeding very, very carefully around this new patch, pulling hundreds of tiny sparaxis that were threatening to over-run the 'good guys'. Hopefully see a few more of them next year.
