Gastrodia sesamoides Cinnamon Orchid

 

Back

After finding the Tall Potato orchid, we continued our walk and halfway up a quite steep path we came across some more "Potato" orchids, but these looked different, so we took photos and realised at home these were probably the other Potato Orchid, the Cinnamon Bells orchid.
