I think this is Thelymitra sp., but it might also be Lyperanthus. @CathB what do you think?

Hi Matt. I'm pretty sure this is a Thelymitra. Lyperanthus has very prominent stripey purplish bracts at the base, which I think you would see in these pictures if they were present. The flowers of some I was looking at yesterday are getting close to opening.
