Default King Greenhood (new)

One of the flowers of Pterostylis baptistii. The photo does not do it
justice. As Reiner mentioned it is about 5 x 5cm (2 x 2 in).

This was the highlight of the weekend. Reiner failed to mention that he was
the one that discovered this colony.

Well spotted.

A great new find for us was this colony of King Greenhoods (Pterostylis
baptistii). John V will agree they were a great find. The flowers measure
5x5cm (2x2 in), which the photos don't really do justice to.

This species is rare in my state and this colony is possibly the farthest
known.
