For several years I have lived in hopes of finding one of these but have never had any luck. So it is doubly good to see this and to know that they really do exist!. Super photo.
Thanks Peter, it is the first time I have seen these too – I think they must be around at the beginning of spring, I am usually later on my flower hunt

I can see why it was so named … well captured !
It reminds me a little of what I think are Greenhood Orchids in my backyard.
You have those in your backyard – oh wonderful! I have to tramp through underground and mossies to find any LOL

We have a couple of areas that are quite damp in Winter and they have popped up a couple of times in different areas. Last year I salvaged a few and have a couple of blooms now.
Fabulous capture!!!
I’ve found these on our property this year, but due to where they are located I’m having problems getting ‘the’ shot. Well done on yours!!
Lucky you to have these on your property. I seem to have spent this spring so far literally with my nose to the ground LOL
