Look like tiger orchids possibly? Again I haven’t seen much exactly like them. The flower on one of the photos I took seem a bit different to the other two - probably just a younger flower but worth a look. Thank you.

This is actually the Late Leopard orchid. Tiger orchids are a brighter yellow colour, and the petals and dorsal sepal are much more pointed. Late leopard orchids are more orange, and the petals and dorsal sepal are more rounded.

Thanks Matt, I got a tad confused between this and another sighting. I appreciate your help.
