South Pacific Heathland Reserve at Ulladulla NSW is a great spot to see an interesting range of coastal
Proteaceae. In spring it's easy to spot (clockwise from top-left) Lambertia, Conospermum, Grevillea and Isopogon in flower on a short stroll around the cliff-top paths. There's also Banksia, Petrophile, Persoonia and Telopea (NSW Waratah) in the reserve - many at the very southern limit of their populations.

Definitely worth a look if you're visiting or passing through Ulladulla - you can see a lot of great plants in a short period of time!

Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near Hyam's Beach, NSW - another coastal location where most of the flowers have no spots. Flowering had already pretty much finished here in mid-September with only a handful of plants still out.
