8th September - Caladenia carnea - Pink Fingers

Caladenia carnea


Description:
I think this is variety 3a as described in Flora of South Australia.

Flowering:
Flowering occurs from August through to December. 

Threats:
These only seed at Wirrapunga if hand pollinated. Apparently they have lost their local natural pollinator. Easily overgrown by more vigorous species.

Management:
Reasonably easy to establish from seed. Needs pollinating.
