Alison it is not D. sulphurea for several reasons as they do not have those well developed labellum sidelobes as these do and they have two dark spots on the dorsal sepal (best viewed from behind/above) which these don't. Derek

Thanks Derek. I guess I was basing this on the species I found here last year.

I think it is just a bit early for D. sulphurea but you can never be sure from year to year.
