When I blow the photo up, I can see the characteristic dimples as the base of the flower tube.

That chopper landing pad it s good spot for orchids if you are there at the right time. Someone told me they had seen umpteen species there on one occasion (can't remember how many now, but a lot). I've never managed to be there are quite the right time, but I have seen it fairly floriferous with various other forbs.

I counted 30 species of orchids there over several visits.

Wow, that's amazing. I can see I should drop in there more often (in a decent season). Long drive though. I think the number I might have been told on a single occasion was 18.
