User's notes
Are these Caladenia or Glossodia leaves? When I saw them I first thought Glossodia, but they don't appear until Spring. Then I thought spider orchid like C. atrovespa, but I would have thought it still too early. The leaves were only starting to emerge. Are they even orchid leaves?

I think they look like Glossodia. The leaves of many species start to appear about now.

I was aware that many leaves were begging to emerge, I just didn't realise Glossodias were too.

Yes, definitely looks like leaf of Glossodia (particularly from the second image), which appear from now right through the cooler months
