This was the only orchid we found growing in the forest near the Bella Vista Cloud Forest in Ecuador.

Looks a lot like the Broad-lipped Spider Orchid - Caladenia applanata but the sepals aren't clubbed enough?

This orchid we have has been in bloom for weeks,

This is a flower of a southern swamp orchid that I bought last week. The spike is about 1m tall. The nurseryman was angry that NPWS has let the feral pigs in Bunjlung NP get out of control and they have devastated this orchid. It was apparently formerly quite common in the swamps of the Park but is now almost extinct. It is very beautiful which makes the story even sadder.

8s exposure using the street lights for illumination ... (auto)focusing in the dark is freaking hard. LOL ;)

I like showing off the contrast between back light and fore light on orchids.
