Thanks to DerekC for helping to identify this when it was a funny little thing, saved it from a tan bark dumping!

It will be interesting to see if this flowers next year.

These orchids are pretty tough, and often come in with the mulch. There are even a few in some of the garden beds around Civic. Microtis are quite tough as well, and some are growing in the garden beds outside my office building.
