User's notes

Unsure of the identification. Only two of the plants had the bud in the centre of the leaf. Thanks to Barbara for the initial sighting.

That’s a helmet orchid. Those aren’t buds though. These plants have already flowered and what you are seeing is the expanded ovary following pollination.
