Could have spent all day lying on the ground staring at these orchids...if it wasn't for the 2 x red bellied black snakes that got us to our feet :). Seen around a disused 4WD track in Tallaganda. GPS approx only

I can't see any images, but I assume this will be E. magenteus.

Was this a stray white one among a lot of pink ones?

There were quite a few white ones around :)

I was wondering if it might be E. cucullatus given the white flowers. But it's probably just E. magenteus.
