Hi Charles
I think this is the closely related Caladenia picta because of the flowering time and red colour on the inside of the column. Nick de Jong

Perhaps somebody else could check this Caladenia as well? I am familiar with C. picta, which I have seen at SPHR before, but not with C. catenata.

This one was up in the Wildflower Reserve Nick. I am not sure my self I did check the Pics out they have on display. I will have a look for the one you mention and see if I can get a good look at it to compare the images, Charles

Yes very interesting, especially with the Autumn Flowering, will leave for now and if you could let me know
with the ID I can change it C.picta, apparently they are nearly identical. Thanks Nick much appreciated.
