Caladenia macrostylis Leaping Spider Orchid Endemic
This orchid with two flowers out simultaneously was in deep shade and the intermittent breeze made it very difficult to photograph. Fortunately the appearance this Spider Orchid is very distinctive with the petals and sepals projecting forward (hence "leaping") and the dark red knobs known as calli on the labellum.
