Great to see these in the field Jeff.
Himantoglossum hircinum is known as the lizard orchid in the UK, so far I haven't been able to source one at a nursery.
Aceras anthropophorum is the man orchid.
Wonderful plants

Does the hanging man orchid smell that rotten? If it grew in australia it would called the dead cow orchid.

KHOAS no fragrance for the hanging man orchis
BRIAN for the billy goat orchis the fragrance is light he smelt just if you put your nose on it , but nevertheless it is a very nice calcareous orchid usually 80-90 cm ;D
