Description
Taken in Augusta, Western Australia
This small tuberous perennial herb, 20–45 cm high with hairy, bright green leaves is a favourite to spot in spring. Flowering between August and October, the stems produce 1–4 stunning white/pink flowers about 1.5 cm across.
The Pink Fairy Orchid is common in coastal areas from the WA South Coast to Central West Coast, frequently forming colonies in deep leaf litter often associated with peppermint trees (Agonis flexuosa).

Nice shot, Elaine. I wonder why I have never gone on an orchid hunt!
Elaine Teague replied:
Thanks Bette. I haven't either; sometimes they just happen to be there among all the other wildflowers.
