I saw the first Caladania for this year last week in the Native Reserve in Riddells Creek Macedon.
So far it has only been a few Pterostylis.
It’s good to see a few images of this coming through….
Well done.
They are out well here at the moment Larry

Lovely capture Kala. I can see where it gets its name from.
Thanks Elaine
