Pyrorchisnigricans, in situ, Wireless Hill Park, Perth, WA, Australia.

This orchid usually flowers en-masse in response to a scorching of a summer fire. Most years all that can be seen are their big, succulent leaves. They are often found in large colonies because they are able to reproduce vegetatively by annually producing several root-like structures with additional tubers, so they don’t need to flower very often.
