User's notes
The first picture was taken 13 March, the second 19 March. Latter was too late to take useful pictures as it turned out so I'm not sure they're good enough for ID. It's on a compacted track in a dry area, so likely much smaller than it should be?

Update on this orchid: rosettes were appearing in this spot around end of April, there are about two dozen.

Most of the autumn flowering greenhoods display this trait. They produce a flower spike which is then followed by a rosette emerging separately to the flower spike. The opposite is true for the spring species in which the flower spike emerges directly from an existing rosette.
