Field Notes

Description:

White petaled orchid might be "pink fingers".
These were not uncommon and variable.
I should have looked more closely.

A nature reserve rich in wildflowers.

The red stripes on the labellum help narrow it down.... As you've mentioned in the description a white morph Pink Fingers is a possibility and it is recorded from Baluk Willam.
