Spotted Sun Orchid  Thelymitra ixioides

Been a particularly good year for spotted sun orchids, been a great many of them flowering over the course of the last month.  As the season progressed I found progressively larger and more impressive looking blooms.

Consistent details across all the blooms, an unusual orchid color, quite beautiful.

Elegant orchid! I like the pale background which sets off the delicacy of the flowers.

Wonderful looking orchid in perfect shape. The light background sets it off very well. Terrific image.
