Thanks everybody. What a shameless solicitation for compliments! I didn't even take the photo.

D, Pink looks great on you too!

BSF, I'm a brunette -- and a dude.

cb, Thanks, phat is right!

Tindo and Everyone, It's Calopogon tuberosis or the Grass Pink. It's native here, and pretty widespread. Cool non-resupinate flowers which rely on trickery for pollination. Pollinators are enticed with a false food reward, land on the the fuzzy lip, and it collapses dropping the bee onto the column, picking up or depositing the pollen. Gotta love it!
