in bud, same site shown in sun orchid sightings on 19 & 21 Oct as flower opens. Stypandra flowers and tips of fingers in close up give scale.

The first image is Microtis. The second is Thelymitra.

yes, one image does have an onion orchid, as well as buds of a sun orchid (and Stypandra, rock fern and other things)

Ah. I didn’t see the Thelymitra with the Microtis the first time around.
