They are all similar in appearance and are distinguished mainly by differences in the column. The Lemon-scented and Twisted Sun Orchids frequently hybridise with species of the Scented Sun Orchid group. These hybrids are usually pink to red in colour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><em>Thelymitra antennifera<\/em> - Lemon-scented Sun Orchid<\/h2>\n<p>The Lemon Scented Sun Orchid is probably the most common sun orchid in Western Australia. Often seen as carpets of yellow flowers, it inhabits moist areas, including swampy land and runoff areas on and around granite outcrops. It is widespread across the entire south west of Western Australia. Its flowers have a distinct lemon scent.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1373\" style=\"width: 180px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chookman.id.au\/wp_orchids\/wp-content\/uploads\/thelymitra\/antennifera1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1373\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1373\" src=\"http:\/\/chookman.id.au\/wp_orchids\/wp-content\/uploads\/thelymitra\/antennifera1-180x126.jpg\" alt=\"Thelymitra antennifera -
