An unusual colour, the same shade of purple as Caladenia glossodia. Quite pretty! Amongst hundreds of normal, blue flowers.

For the love of orchids, please join the rest of Australia and use the correct nomenclature @MattM and the rest of the Canberra orchid mods!

I'm sorry, but I didn't realize it had changed. I thought it was still Cyanicula? Could you provide me with a source? I don't receive papers to notify me of any name changes and only have the Australian Plant Census to go off, and that appears to list Cyanicula as the currently accepted name.
