That is just lovely!!! Here in the United States, we have an orchid that uses a similar hinged lip method to trick pollinators into 'doing the deed', Calopogon tuberosus:

Thanks Wilma.
Virtual natural history is my aim.
Seems to work for you.
Its nice when a photograph works, though.

Hi Prem
Nice to have you stop by.
Interesting that some of your Orchids have flexible parts, to snap shut.

Wow! It really does look like a flying duck! very nice Denis . . .
Hi Denis, Now this return to Meryla Pass shows true photographic / orchidic dedication. Not only are you helping me with my knowledge of flora and fauna, you are also giving me directions for where to go when I next manage to attend to my wilderness need. This area looks absolutely wonderful. cheers, catmint
Hi Valeriavine and Catmint.
Thanks to both of you.
ValeriaVine - you might find a photo resembling this - appearing in a Gallery near you, shortly.

Catmint, Orchid people (decent Orchid people anyway), are usually happy to share their knowledge. If you ever travel this way, contact me in advance.
Cheers
Denis
