Greenhood Orchid  Hymenochilus bicolor

These small orchids grow by the thousands in a paddock at a site near Ilford in the NSW Central tablelands that I get to regularly.  The have an irritable labellum that snaps closed to trap the pollinator,

Somewhat similar to the Blue colored Monk's hood flower we see here. Beautiful capture.

A pleasing image!
