User's notes

Lots of Thelymitra in this general area with some variation in leaf, flower and form (I'll post a few variations across several sightings). This group of plants was slightly back from the actual roadside but not actually in the forest. They were was just on 30cm tall and all upright. The leaves on these plants were relatively wide and ribbed compared to some other roadside sightings (like the nearby 3876257). Flower and leaf width reminded me a little of 2017 sighting 3387170 (identified as T. megcalyptra) but plants in today's sighting were not as tall / falling over or as deep in the forest. Glen
