Despite a rather bland common name, this orchid is far from dull!
Growing in shady forests in the south of WA it is a myco-heterotroph, getting all its nutrients from a fungal partner rather than photosynthesis 🌿🍄

This is horrific.
![In one example several years ago, a woman's car had a "kill switch" activated that prevented her from driving beyond a 1 kilometre radius from her home.
"[The woman] basically had this very small environment where she could drop the kids off at school, go to the grocery store, but couldn't do much beyond it," Ms Inman Grant said.
"So she kept going to the family mechanic, who happened to be a friend of her partner's, and of course he had orchestrated it all, and once she figured that out through a domestic and family violence service, she was able to get the issue addressed elsewhere."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nfpnrj26dwghildumnphjuee/bafkreic6vy5ebom42fkpufk4kw37hpzcajvtwhonrwkbdm2y5jbjqxroby@jpeg)
