One of the two had been pushed by a small fallen branch into growing on it's side.

I think this is O. aciculiformis, but I would like to see an open flower before I confirm.

Will try and find it again on Friday :-) Got open flower pictures of that spider orchid, but CNM won't let me upload them at the moment. I've put them on the Facebook thread, and will put them on CNM when things aren't so busy for folks.
