Hi Jen, you're welcome, I know the feeling, I am devastated when these events occur and threaten our previous native orchids. I have witnessed it recently in the Eumundi Conservation Reserve where both Helmet and Elbow Orchid colonies were destroyed just to make the firebreak a little wider. It is so frustrating.

Thanks Joan. As I only have a mobile phone camera, my images aren't as good as I'd like, and where these are growing is in particularly dim light.
We've been aware of the colony in this location for as long as we've lived here (30+ years) but a few years back there was a fire on Mt Cooroora and then the National Parks people pushed a new track through the area and we thought they were lost forever, but each year since, we've seen a few more popping up, so happy to say the colony has survived :)

This little orchid is flowering profusely at the moment in many locations. There is another similar looking Helmet Orchid which is more grey burgundy on the 'helmet, and is Corybas aconitiflorus.
Corybas barbarae is described as being crystalline white which is what your orchid is.
