Mayfly Orchid Acianthus caudatus
The mayfly orchid is also known "Dead Horse" as in warm weather it smells of rotting flesh. Luckily it was a cool day when I found this one, there were a few growing beside a track. It's quite a small orchid with the labellum only 5-6mm long but the sepals are very long - maybe 30mm, for a total flower height of 60mm or so. Chose a cropped in view for this shot, I've linked below a full view showing the extent of the sepals. Image is a 24 frame stack.
