User's notes
I was meant to load this beauty up. I think it is a Caladenia fuscata. This is not a plant with two flowers, but rather two flowers close by. There was quite a bit of variation in colours around them. They grew in a burnt area (early Jan 2020) - and were more abundant there than in the area wider around. Perhaps they may profit from cold burns...

A lot of orchids seem to benefit from gentle burns. Presumably they fare better without the competition.
