Three plants near Wollongong

After a work meeting in Wollongong we made a short stop on the way back, just enough time to have a look at some plants that are flowering.

Starting with the least interesting, because invasive: Ageratina adenophora (Asteraceae), an introduced weed that was doing very well indeed all along the roadsides.

According to colleagues this is Eriostemon (Philotheca?) australasius (Rutaceae). The flowers are white; books usually show them as pink, but maybe the difference has something to do with this plant growing in shade. Very pretty, at any rate.

And finally we saw this even prettier orchid. After consulting Native Plants of the Sydney Region I presume it is Thelymitra ixioides, but orchids are not really my specialty.
