Definitely not Thelymitra longiloba which flowers much earlier. Note the glaucous flower stem and hooded post-anther lobe!.

Thanks for the identification David. Yes, I see what you mean about the stem and the hooded post-anther lobe. The field guides I have didn't have the T. planicola and my Complete Guide was back in Canberra on the coffee table :)

Definitely a good find though Rob. It turns up from time to time but is mostly an elusive sp.
