Purple Beard Orchid (Calochilus robertsonii) near Gipsy Point, East Gippsland, VIC.
The flowers are fairly small at this location but they generally feature some of the bushiest beards of the local Calochilus. Only saw the one plant out this year in a dry spring although there were some good patches of red beard orchids out not far away.
