Given the name I assume this is one that appears after fire? Very cool looking orchid!
Correct, they are a incredibly common sight in my area, as a single fleshy leaf on the ground, but generally only flower following a fire event
Reminds me of SGAP comping trips when I was growing up
I love that pyrorchid. Is it possible to grow it in a pot?
I've not seen them cultivated in pots before. Collecting orchids in the wild here in Australia is an illegal practice, so they are not common sights in nurseries or collections (except some of the Greenhood species and Spider Orchid species)
