Caladenia hillmanii (purple-heart fingers) in open forest at Jervis Bay, NSW. Some variation in flower size, shape and colour at this location with some plants not having the distinctive maroon labellum side-lobes this species is known for.
Generally regarded as a coastal species growing at altitudes of 0-200m but I've seen almost identical variations on a population of Caladenias in Monga NP at 700m altitude.
