Was this plant larger than usual D. chryseopsis? The brighter orange on the labellum is a feature often associated with D. behrii.

Looks like D. behrii to me, which would be a great sighting if found within the ACT.

They were definately larger than my last few sightings of Diuris. I didnt think much of it when i spotted them. They are easy to find, they are growing in road crush a little way down the tracks, left when you enter the Turallo gate.
