Finally the flower is open on my Pterostylis truncata / Diplodium truncatum.
The "paint has dried"  ;D
It's in a cold greenhouse.

Fred (Bulbissme),

I don't think yours is fully open yet in the picture.  The little flags haven't gone up.

That's a shame, Fred.  I wonder what happened to it.  The flowers themselves I find last for quite a while. It sounds like something must have affected the tip of the flower, which then stopped the uprights from braking away from the rest of the flower.  Still, it flowered so it must be happy and should flower every year now.

Had a few Pterostylis species over the years but I think they have all boiled down into P.curta.
If anyone could confirm this one as curta I'd be grateful, the various species I had all got
mixed up in the distant past and I guess there is the vague chance this is something else,
though I doubt it!
Many thanks
Chris

Hi Chris

This does not look like Curta to me.

Cheers Eric,
Guess it could be nutans or 'Nodding Grace', I've had these in the past too!
Woe is me for not keeping them all seperate!

It's nutans, Chris.  Has the bent forward head.  I posted a pic somewhere of my variegated form, which I think showed the flower at the same angle.

Thanks Paul, good to have that confirmed. I think this planter contains this species only, all the others have been quietly done away with by nutans and it's large leaves! ;)
