'brown cap' orchid by ltodd

'brown cap' orchid

I shot this little Black Mountain native terrestrial orchid from the side so you can see how diffferent it is in structure to the 'blue fingers' from last week. In this one, the teeth on the side of the labellum go all the way down the side, and it is actually quite 'hairy'.
(this one looks pretty neat enlarged)
Very nicely done!

I actually thought it looked like a banana when you first uploaded it. Very interesting flower. I like how you did the background.

@nicolecampbell the background makes it look like an inside shot doesn't it? I think it was the base of a stringybark tree in shadow. I always need to bracket exposures for white flowers in sunshine & then hope I can get one correct ! :)
