HabitatH Found in a summer burn area - but the plants when unopened blend well into the general background, making them hard to find.  Best looked for on hot sunny days.
Whole Plant:

Easily identified when flowers open, but can look like other Thely's such as the T. aristata or Beard Orchids when closed.

Opens easily of hot days.

Has a variety of colours, blues, greens, pinks and yellows.
