Spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC. Only a handful of plants still in flower on this visit as a drier conditions may have slightly curtailed the flowering season.

Most spotted suns at this location have fewer smaller flowers than this more typical plant (which is closer to coastal forms growing around Mallacoota to the east).
