Default The last one! Cryptostylis leptochila

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.

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?

Its a bit different to your typical orchid. The flower is upside-down and
dominated by the labellum (which takes up most of my photo). The sepals and
petals are relatively insignificant, green and thin. The dorsal sepal is the
green thing extending from the centre of the flower out the bottom of the
photo (being an upside-down flower, calling that a dorsal sepal is somewhat
of a misnomer).
