Caladenia hillmanii (purple-heart fingers) near Hyams Beach, NSW. This is a good location to see this early spring-flowering orchid with some nice variations out from as early as late August. #Orchids #OzPlants #Biodiversity #Botany #Spring #InTheField #Caladenia #BloomScrolling #WildFlowers

Waxlip orchids (Glossodia/Caladenia major*) near the Wonboyn River, NSW. Fairly common orchid at this location - sometimes growing alongside the closely related Glossodia minor (Caladenia glossodia*).
*Some recent reviews of the genus return the 2 x Glossodia species back into Caladenia #orchids

I was lucky to find two individuals of this one on my last day in Tasmania. Photograh of spider orchid from Tasmania. Caladenia (dilatata is my guess) #Caladenia, #orchid, #Tasmania, #botany

Pink cap orchid - Caladenia clarkiae - near Genoa, East Gippsland, VIC.
This is probably the pinkest form of this small cap orchid I have seen in East Gippsland - although plants with almost entirely reddish/pink flowers are found in some locations.

Blue Fingers (Cyanicula/Caladenia* caerulea) in open heathland, Croajingalong NP, VIC. This is usually the first orchid out at this location in late-winter. *Genetic analysis suggested a return to Caladenia in 2019 but is generally still included in Cyanicula. #orchids #spring #inthefield

Waxlip orchid ((Glossodia / Caladenia major) with sundew (Drosera sp. - probably D. auriculata) near Mallacoota,VIC. Lots of both sundews and orchids out here in coastal heathland heading into spring - but hot/dry weather since then has seen both suffer a bit in recent weeks #orchids #sundews

Waxlip orchids (Glossodia / Caladenia major) near the Genoa Rr, VIC. Lots of flowers out in light forest at this location with many still in bud or just opening in more open grassland.
Flower colour is fairly consistent here with some variations between mauve and purple. #orchids #inthefield
