Thelymitra antennifera- Rabbit-eared sun orchid

Thelymitra (sun orchids) is a genus in the orchid family. Unlike most other orchids, sun orchids lack a highly modified labellum and all three petals are similar in size, shape and colour. Thelymitra antennifera is also known as the rabbit-eared sun orchid, lemon-scented sun orchid or vanilla orchid. It is a species of sun orchid which is native to Western Australia, South Australia and Victoria and northern parts of Tasmania. The particular shape and color of the sun orchids mimics flowers of the lily family aiming by deceit for the same insect pollinators.
