Caladenia testacea

Shot this orchid a couple of days ago near home, it's Caladenia testacea and moderately uncommon. It usually flowers around October so is quite early this year.  This one is a 30 frame stack.  Quite a small orchid, about 15mm across the widest part.

The angle on the subject and the stacked detail show the beautiful flower exceptionally well.
