Tiny orchid

This very beautiful little orchid, no more than about 8cm high was spotted amongst fynbos shrubs, obviously hoping to go completely unnoticed. So iSpotters - keep your eyes peeled . . . !! Congratulations on today's launch and "Thank You" to Tony and his team. This is a wonderful website.

12 Seascape Rd, Crofters Valley, Cape Town, 7979, South Africa (Google, OSM)

Description

Shallow marine origin sands over sandstone boulders. Under large Coleonema album. Habitat ecotonal Strandveld and fynbos, but also very moribund and thickety from lack of fire. I assume this is a satyrium from the twin spurs, but it doesn't look like any of the species. Perfume scent.
