Prasophyllum Colemaniae – Lilac Leek-Orchid

Oh, Lilac Leek-Orchid

You used to grow

You're green, you're pink, you're purple, you're white

Oh, beautiful you were

You used to be everywhere.

When your territory is crossed,

When agriculture grew,

Your purple, pink, and white flowers, won’t bloom

But I never met you,

Now you’re gone.

Why won’t you grow?

What did we do to you?

You provide the insects.

We lost a part of Australia

That makes us unique.

Oh, Lilac Leek-Orchid,

You used to grow

You're green, you're pink, you're purple

You used to be everywhere

Now you won’t grow.
