Although this time of year is technically the end of winter, there were plenty of orchids to be seen in this Eucalypt Forest. These Blue Fairy Orchid are only 10 to 20 cm tall at most and have a tiny dark blue "beard" in the centre.

As with many plants these days this has suffered at the hands of the taxonomists so you find it referred to as Cyanicula deformis or Caladenia deformis in older books.

It is found up to 1000 feet all over mainland Australia and in Tasmania.
