User's notes
I and my neighbour (Dr. Janet Wollaston) visited the patch of large duck orchids just down the track where we live.
The duck orchids were still flowering and we found another 'patch' of orchids (in flower) west of the patch I reported (and photographed) on 26 October.
The two 'patches' of duck orchids were on the south side of the 'firebreak' between the BVSC 300 metre wide buffer strip (burnt in a çontrol burn' about 4 months ago) and the south boundary of Bournda NP. They may have been the result of the fact that the adjacent bush was recently burnt.
