Thanks Katie, I'm always happy to show off ....... I mean show off my plants.

This is Dipodium variegatum, I think. Well I know it's a Dipodium, it's the variegatum I'm not certain of. A saprophytic orchid which is leafless and only the inflorescence, which can grow to 1.5 metres, shows above the ground. Quite common in woodlands, sandstone country and along upland streams. Doesn't like any waterlogging.
