Please ID this for me!! If I saw it in the bush I would say microtis straight away but it is growing with my garlic chives and confusing me!

Definitely Microtis - need a bit more of a close up of the flower to ID to species if thats possible.

Great thanks, I'm not going crazy haha. Added a few more close ups. Must be the relationship with the onion and mycorrhizal fungi??
