The first I have seen and there was only one on the site. The initial GPS from my phone was wrong so I have corrected it.

I am reasonably certain this is Thelymitra x Irregularis, a hybrid, a natural cross between T. ixioides and T. carnea. Have you seen either of the parents there?

Hi Tony I have gone through my photos & am sure I have seen T. ixioides at this site but can't be sure of T. carnea but I will keep a better record. Thanks Peter
