User's notes
I am pretty sure this is D ampliatum, but the dorsal sepal appeared fairly short. The labellum seems a bit on the short side as well, but may have been in the process of resetting. Two of them were still in flower. Fourteen of them were finished flowering. This is the same colony as sighting https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4429745. I have uploaded some photos with flower dimensions on sighting https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4481008

I will tentatively call this one D. reflexum. D. ampliatum is supposed to have a a longer galea that makes the plant look more 'top-heavy'. These plants are also quite inflated at the base of the flower which is more in line with D. reflexum.
How large were the flowers? D. reflexum is meant to be smaller than D. ampliatum.
