Default Caladenia dilatata
This is an Ozzie Native terestrial that has just finished flowering for me. They are deciduous starting off as a tuber under ground, then in our late autumn (May) they send up a grass like leaf. As that matures in late winter (August) a spike arises from the centre of the growth about 10 inches the flower is about 3 inches top to bottom.
