I don't think the mystery plant is an orchid.
Is it hard to find these, by the way? Or are they sort of everywhere?

I don't know for sure... Reminds me of parasitic plants. I'll send a mail to qualified people!
Surprisingly difficult to find. They're very picky about their location, as the conditions are extremely hard on them.
Temps get ridiculously high during summer, and every year water gets more scarce. They only survive in a few, very distinct places.

Maybe! Thankfully local authorities have started to take action, by monitoring/protecting some species, encouraging people to avoid mowing them and so on.
