Critter of the Week: The Helmet Orchid

From Afternoons, 3:35 pm on 28 February 2025

The windswept helmet orchid (Corybas dienemus) is a rare native orchid that likes cold, damp, windy places.

Like many of our native orchids, this species has an unusual flower. The plant produces a single leaf with one translucent green and purple flower with long, wispy, dancing arms.
