User's notes

There might be more than one species here. There was a honey caladenia in the area. It was just a little area, with quite a few orchids in it. Maybe 10 metres squared.

Might be C. moschata, though not sure they are all the same.

A species that exhibits significant variation throughout its range, you have photographed both light and dark coloured forms.
