Caladenia carnea |
Caladenia carnea (Pink Fingers orchid) is a deciduous terrestrial orchid which is grows widely in Australia. The flowers are to about 20mm across and are various shades of pink, although all white or nearly white flowers are common. They have a single grass like leaf and a flower stem about 20cm high topped by one (occasionally two) flowers. The large amount of variation indicates that Caladenia carnea is quite likely a complex of related species.[1]
