Thanks :-D (Would love something like that to pop up in my garden!! I am heading down to Langwarrin and Frankston South looking at what’s around sometime next week with my “orchiding” buddy!)

this one is still flowering, Rosie. so i guess others will be too, at least potentially. the trick is that i haven’t seen any others and it’s far too hot right now to look ! : )
