Hi Judith. Good to see your photos. This is a Trigger Plant, possibly Stylidium graminifolium. But we need to see a photo of the leaves at the base. Do you happen to have extra photos?

Hi Michael, going for a walk that way this morning so will try to get them. Also have snagged bug photos I had put down as duds, not realizing what the plant does. Is there aa way of adding to the original report or do a new one?

There is a edit button on the top right beside the location map- you can add up to a total of 5 images.
