It looks like a ground orchid to me (Spathoglottis plicata).
I garden for the pollinators.

My first impression is that it is a terrestrial orchid, perhaps one of the Spathoglottis varieties.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
