Strange and lovely wee flower heads. I can see why it's called monkey but where does Dracula come into it?

Only pictures of them, Mups. I do like our native Bee Orchid though, think that is the only one native to us that doesn't look like a proper flower.
My Orchid died on me. I am not good with pot plants, it never flowered again.
