Well, almost golden....not quite as bright yellow as Cypripedium calculus var. Flavum, but a special variant nonetheless.

Composite image merged from 8K video file, edited in PS and Nik ColorEfex.

Nikon Z9 with Irix 150mm macro. 

Thanks for the visit, have a relaxing day.

One of my favourite orchid species, just remind me of little Pixie boots! Beautiful image.

Lovely capture of the flowers, nice light, and just enough foreground and background foliage to suggest the environment.
