They are very lightly sweet and pleasant scent, you will need many flowers to be able to smell it.
Here is the flower.

As usual really nice quality photos, the last drosera definitely takes it with that lovely bud and flowering spectacle. A treat to show us some other native plants going off too as some do tire of cactus flowers eventually

Thanks RorBurg56!
Hopefully can see few more species of terrestrial orchids this year. Some species haven't been seen over 3 years now. Unfortunately they are very sensitive to environmental changes, and need mycorrhizal fungi for germination and development. Some species will stay dormant until after the fire.

Hi Mrs.Green!
According to some latest estimate, there are about 1700 species of orchids in Australia. New one still been discover each year.
Most of them are terrestrial orchids. Some stay dormant underground for years, so quite difficult to know how many are there.
At my place, I counted about 12 species, but some haven't been seen for over 3 years.

Good morning Frank! Thanks!
Yes, it's a bit early, my other Astrophytums are only showing flower buds at the moment.

Good morning Frank!
The Thelocactus conothelos is about 6 years old (Size about Ø11cm, not including the spines). They have very big tubercles.
