Orchids and Car Trouble

Before I moved here I knew nothing about native orchids, but there are several species that grow on our property. Right at the moment two species are flowering.

This is a Tall Greenhood, and it is right beside the driveway:

Several flowers open and a few buds to come at the top. These pop up in various places over the property, but this particular one is in a spot where I have never seen it before.

The other orchid in flower is the Nodding Greenhood:

Each plant has just one flower. They grow in many places on the block, singly or in small groups like this.

Something that doesn't bring much joy: 

My car being loaded onto a tow truck at 9:30 at night in the rain. Hopefully it will be repairable, but I won't know until next week some time.
