Caladenia cairnsiana   Zebra Orchid

Caladenia cairnsiana whole Caladenia cairnsiana close

As with many Caladenia species the photographer gets in close and produces an image which makes the plant look striking but this orchid tiny and is so well camouflaged that on returning to the site I couldn't actually find it again. Caladenia cairnsiana is found along the southern coastal strip of south western Australia from Esperance to Albany up north to Margaret River and a little beyond.
