Not sure Maartje, could be C. dimorpha but brownish tips to sepals and petals suggests C. ustulata. Really need a clearer view of the labellum.

I've uploaded a second image, it gives a slightly different view and in higher resolution. I really have lots of trouble with the Caladenias given they are so variable..

Thanks Maartje, the dorsal sepal stongly incurved over the column is also suggestive of C. ustulata, but not conclusive. I've asked Cath Busby for her opinion on this and the other Caladenia.

I can't see anything that wouldn't be consistent with C. ustulata. I'm not familiar with C. dimorpha.
