Unsure of this one, leaf appears different to the surrounding Eriochilus. Unsure if that is an unopened flower? Rocky, mossy wet slope.

Believe it or not, these are actually ferns. Very nice sightings, they are not often seen

Oh SUPER interesting! There were probably a fair bit more than two then and possibly less Eriochilus!
