Beautiful flower. I like the tones, soft lighting and how it looks to be braided. "V"

Wonderful detail of the tresses; 'tis an attractive orchid. I thought I'd heard of these orchids before under the common name - I see on our checklist that we have 4 species of Spiranthes in Australia, but not cernua.
