User's notes

Around 5 cm tall. I have been watching this plant since the 26th September. It doesn't seem to change much, but it now appears to be shrivelling at the tips. I thought it was going to be some sort of caladenia, but I am not sure what it is. It appears to have two flowers on it, but the lower flower seems to be less developed. The first photo is from 16 Nov, the second and third from 26 Oct, the fourth from 7 Oct and the fifth from 26 Sep. I have included some more photos of this in sighting 4408522.

Yeah agree it looks to be shaping up as some kind of Caladenia, but obviously a very confused plant with development issues!
