Cobra Greenhood - Pterostylis grandiflora

Image of Greenhood orchids

Description:

D'Aguilar National ParkSome plants in flower. Each year, the plant dies back and regrows. When the conditions are right and it has a good food store in its roots, it will put up a tall stem with long, narrow leaves - quite different from the rosette of leaves when its in food storage mode. This time it it all about the flower, and what a lovely flower it is!
