I am quite intrigued by this one. The colouring looks different enough to the other caladenias that I am kind of hoping this is something other than carnea.

I am intrigued too. C. carnea is pretty variable, but the bright pink, inrolled, side lobes and the pale teeth on the mid lobe look very unusual.

I would lean to this being a quite dark pink form of Cal carnea. It doesn't seem to match any of the other pink fingers in the region. I guess we could send off to others more familiar with alternative species for their opinions
