Cirrhopetalum umbellatum. This cute little orchid's habitat ranges from sea level to several thousand feet and from Africa to Fiji to Australia! How's that for adaptive? Each flower has a really cool dark red-black filiment that extends off of the dorsal sepal and the niftiest red spots on yellow lateral sepals. Makes you wonder what the pollinator looks like! Maybe a yellow bee with red spots? Wow.
