Wildflowers of Western Australia
The Cowslip Orchid (Caledenia flava) is widespread in Western Australia. This orchid enthusiast has often seen them growing in dense colonies from the edge of the road in the Stirling Ranges to underneath trees at Buntine, in the Western Australian wheat belt. These orchids grow from a bulb, and flower in spring. They usually flower on a fine, short stem and when in a dense colony make a bright splash of colour in the bush.This photograph was taken in the Western Australian wheatbelt country.
