Thanks Greg and Brad
Apparently the way we see flowers differs from how pollinators see them.
"This secret colour world was discovered in the Fifties and scientists realised that these distinct patterns were designed to act as "landing strips" or arrows, guiding the insects to the right spot."

Very informative Alan - the things we DON'T know! I have only ever taken a photo of ONE orchid and that was a fair while ago when I was in Adelaide at the Botanical Gardens. It was pink and stood proudly in the entrance to the tropical zone and it was called "Bigibbum". I'll post it later if I can find it.
