User's notes

All yellow petals I think ? sorry no close up pic. A field full of various DIURIS species, amazing to see, last October was a record Orchid Flowering season. This species was the most numerous Diuris sp here.This Hackett site should be a TOP rated Conservation Habitat. Now rare to see such Species Biodiversity in Eucalypt Grassy Woodlands.

I can see the pair of spots on the back of the dorsal sepal, and late flowering time indicates D. sulphurea.
