Not out yet, but this species occurs in the area. What a hot spot for different orchids.

When the flower(s) comes out,
please add a confirming photograph of the insides close-up of one of these flowers,
including visibility of the whole labellum including its lobes and midline ridge, the callus, and the petals including their claws, etc. .
For example for confirming it does not identify to *Diuris dendrobioides* which of course does have obvious differences yet superficially may appear similar to uninitiated people and to the CarbonAI.

Thanks very much Jason7Stewart for the careful moderation. I was visiting, so don’t think I’ll be able to get the close up you need. It is right on the path and bright pink so I hope another NatureMapr fan walks by in the next couple of days.
