absolutely stunning flower, x10 better than last year - it's pink! Since when were they pink?
About 10cm from last years observations: https://inaturalist.nz/observations/93238742), but only one flower found (plus one stem without a flower), whereas there were several in a 30cm² area last year.
The purple pictures are an (unplanned) attempt at using a UV light Tim Park happened to have. Perhaps I'll try UV again next time with better equipment.

On Mt Hassell in shallow moss/peat over shale/schist, a few others, mostly above 750m, most gone to fruit but some like this one still open, all leaves getting a bit old withering orange.
Smells a bit like chocolate but also floral.
