Waltraud - all the available labellums are a rusty colour and I suspect withered or deceased and I am not sure of the species from what I can see.

thanks Derek.
I realised the labellum colour when I looked at the photo on the computer.
Unfortunately, all photos that I took from this small patch are blurred with the exception of the close up where i used my camera bag as the backdrop. I'm not sure whether I come around to take more photos ....
