The dry early summer has greatly delayed the flowing of our native orchids in the local reserve. Recent rain has stirred them into life. Unfortunately, also the horseflies, so the experience was not as pleasant as it might have been.
I took a mixture of sunlight and flash images through my Kiron 105mm macro, all hand-held.
When you see the close-ups of these highly-adapted flowers you expect the flower spike to be easy to see. However, it is not as colourful or large as other species. The cross-eye stereo will show this.
Note the internal pollinia structures in the fourth image.
