About Caladenia picta (Nicholls) M.A.Clem. & D.L.Jones ex A.D.Chapm.
Caladenia picta is a terrestrial, perennial, deciduous herb that grows from an underground tuber. It produces a single, sparsely hairy, linear leaf that measures 60โ120 mm (2โ5 in) long and 2โ3 mm (0.08โ0.1 in) wide. One flower, 20โ25 mm (0.8โ1 in) long and 25โ30 mm (0.98โ1.2 in) wide, is borne on a stalk 80โ150 mm (3โ6 in) tall. The sepals and petals are white to pink on the front surface, greenish-white on the back surface, and spread out in a fan-like arrangement. The dorsal sepal is erect or slightly curved forward, measuring 15โ20 mm (0.6โ0.8 in) long and 3โ4 mm (0.1โ0.2 in) wide. The lateral sepals are 18โ23 mm (0.7โ0.9 in) long and 5โ7 mm (0.2โ0.3 in) wide, while the petals are 15โ20 mm (0.6โ0.8 in) long and 4โ5 mm (0.16โ0.20 in) wide. The labellum is 7โ10 mm (0.3โ0.4 in) long and 5โ7 mm (0.2โ0.3 in) wide, usually white with pink margins. The sides of the labellum curve upwards strongly, and the tip curls downwards; the tip is orange-yellow and has narrow teeth along its edge. Two rows of calli with clubbed heads are located in the centre of the labellum. Flowering occurs from April to June. This species, commonly called painted fingers, is found in coastal districts of New South Wales, Australia, south from Newcastle, where it grows in eucalyptus woodland or forest.
