Diuris pardina - Leopard Double Tail Orchid - although these ones have only started to open so the bottom sepals haven't unfurled yet. This was in a very old cemetery which had just been mown so lucky to find anything.

I spoke too soon… a flower is now forming on the ‘Dead Horse Lily’ Helicodiceros muscivorus. An odd plant that is the only species in its genus from Corsica & Sardinia islands. It has a large flower with internal surface texture like horse hair and smells reminiscent of a dead horse as it heats up.
