Default The last one! Cryptostylis leptochila
OK, so where are the flower parts on this one? The column, sepals/petals are
at the forked tip of the colored spotted tongue? so the tongue is some sort
of a bract?

The last summer orchid on its last flower, a Cryptostylis leptochila
labellum close-up. I saw a few of these on their last flower today (they
flower in sequence, bottom up, 1-3 flowers at a time).

Its the end of the summer orchids and may the autumn orchids start soon.
