Caladenia hillmanii
Caladenia hillmanii is a small, deciduous ground orchid from coastal New South Wales with a single leaf and one or two bright pink flowers in spring. It is a native wild orchid, so the key to growing it is to mimic its sandy, free-draining coastal forest habitat and its seasonal dormancy.
Caladenia hillmanii, commonly known as purple-heart fingers, is a plant in the orchid family Orchidaceae and is endemic to New South Wales. It is a ground orchid with a single leaf and one or two bright pink flowers with a reddish-purple labellum with darker bars.
Purple-heart fingers grows in coastal forest in sandy soil from Nelson Bay to Ulladulla.
