Last one for the year

Possibly the last orchid for the year is popping up across the property. Many wouldn't recognise Dipodium roseum as a member of the orchid family, yet the Pink Hyacinth Orchid is one of the largest orchids in this part of the world.

As it emerges from the earth, the shoots resemble asparagus shoots, as this picture shows.
