These
incredible looking flowers are monkey orchids. There are two species shown
here, Dracula simia (the ones that look like monkey faces) and Orchis simia
(which resemble little dancing monkeys).
Dracula
simia are only found in the cloud forests of southeastern Ecuador at elevations
of 1000 to 2000 meters and their flowers smell likes ripe oranges. Orchis simia
are found in Europe, the Mediterranean, Russia, Asia Minor and Iran and the
flowers smell strongly of feces!
