Thelymitra ixioides var. ixioides
A beautiful blue orchid with dark blue flecks on the inner surface of the median sepal and also on part of the lateral petals. I saw just this one partially open flower that day.
Spotted in semi shade in a nature reserve with eucalypts and native plants including other native orchids.
For a better photo and some interesting notes on this orchid, here's Vinny's spotting
