It's not D. sulphurea (it doesn't have the distinctive dark brown blotches on the dorsal sepal). Nor does it look like D. pardina. I suspect D. nigromontana.

Cool - thanks Tony. I wasn't sure what this one was, but yeah it was distinctly different in both colour and texture from the surrounding D. pardina. A much lighter yellow colour and I really liked the 3-sequential flowers arrangement of this particular one.

I didn't mean to confirm this as it is an orchid, but it does look like D. nigromontana. I'll be careful which button I press next time.

If there's any disagreement with this ID I can reverse the confirmation ID. Cheers
