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