Four seen in flower. Very close to another bumper patch. This one had a little wasp/fly on it!

I like how the wasp almost looks as if it's trying to imitate the orchid's shape.

Didn't get to see the image until now because it doesn't show up well on my phone. It's actually a Tephritid fly, the Thynnoides which pollinate these orchids are much bigger and all black.
