Wasp Orchid - Chiloglottis reflexa - comes into flower

0 comments
This group of "Short-clubbed Wasp Orchids" (Chiloglottis reflexa) is flowering right on the edge of one of the local roads in Kangaloon. Alan Stephenson spotted them when we were out admiring a large clump of Hyacinth Orchids, nearby.
Look for the paired leaves on the ground.
There are two open flowers and two buds visible.
They are small plants and even smaller flowers,
as made evident by the scale of Alan's camera lens.
