Caladenia carnea (Pink Fingers) near Genoa, VIC. First examples of this variable species I've seen in East Gippsland this year that are getting pretty close to the 'typical' form. Only the occasional multiple flowering plant - and then only two (smallish) flowers max -so still not quite what I'd call 'classic Carnea' ;)
