Helmet orchid

Oh my!!  These orchids are very common, but gosh they are hard to spot.  Tiny, tiny, tiny.  (Helmet orchid Corybas spp.)

I felt I was very lucky to see some this afternoon.  I stopped and looked at the side of the road on my way out of Belair NP, and there they were.  Couldn't believe my eyes.  They are a red-brown, so camouflage well, and are about the size of half my little finger nail.  So of course, I had to get down on hands and knees in the wet to get this image.

Pleased with myself.
