Large Mosquito orchids along the Mares Forest Creek walking track. Lots of leaves, but just found one in flower at the end of its glory days. Surrounded by bristly helmet orchid leaves. GPS approx only

Very likely A.exertus I agree but this is getting toward the range where I would hear an argument for A.pusillus. Might be best left at genus.
