I have been keeping an eye on these ones for a few weeks (since Tapirlord said they were onions), and they finally came out to say hello today. Around 80 onion orchids across 2 patches at Black Mountain. GPS approx only.

Good job getting clear photos of the labellum. Not an easy feat with onion orchids.
