Corybas pictus

Commonly known as "Helmet Orchid" in cultivation, yes this weird terrestrial orchid is really a artful plant that inspires folk's imagination.

I took this photo of Corybas pictus in a private garden in Sabah, I did not mean to find this because there were too many plants to see. It was a beautiful encounter with this tiny monster while it bloomed and sat down on a planting rack. Impressive !
