User's notes
This is reasonably common locally from late Spring through Summer, on the fringes of forest and in slightly grassy areas, where ever it is partly shady. I feel I’ve seen a similar shaped flower in another colour, (can someone verify another colour exists?), but it was a long time ago, and this is the only one I’ve been seeing in the past 30+ years or so. This is the same plant as depicted in sighting 4650350, just in a different location, and clearer photos.

I'm sorry that it is taking so long for sightings to be verified - there are only two of us at the moment, and both of us are working and doing Uni. I really appreciate all of your info!

Hi Tina, @Csteele4 ,
I marvel at how much work is involved for Moderators here, and you have my utmost appreciation and understanding. It's the only way I've been able to access any help with identifying things, so promptness is not a key issue for me, but your care in being accurate is much valued. I still have so many sightings to get posted, and I can see by how the sighting numbers tick over that there's heaps of others being posted too. It is good to know that I'm providing useful info, it's the best I can do in hope of making life easier your end. All the best with your studies and your work,
Warmest Regards,
MazzV
