Caladenia Harlequin
Caladenia is an Australian terrestrial genus, characterized by a single leaf, small root system, and small tuber. It's a bit tricky to grow. This one has been getting better each year, I suspect that it starts to develop its mycorrhizal enironment that it needs to sustain itself and bloom. So far, I have only flowered the primary hybrid Caladenia Harlequin (Calda. flava x Calda latifolia). Hybrid vigor helps. I have Calda latifolia alba, that came up with two nice growths but no flowers. Maybe next year I'll have the species to show.
