This is Bussells Spider Orchid, Caladenia busselliana. It was discovered by Greg Bussell in 1990. The cage is to protect it from grazing , mainly by rabbits and roos . Like most of our rare orchids - and there are less than a handful of this one left - it requires a summer bur . Unfortunately most of our burns now occur in spring or autum and are not good for most orchids. <br /> Family: Orchidaceae &nbsp; Genus: Caladenia &nbsp; Species: busselliana &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Yellow<br />Member - John and ValSat, 27 Sep 2014 07:26:00 GMTButterfly Orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/547+butterfly-orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/547+butterfly-orchid<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/547+butterfly-orchid"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W547__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Family: Orchidaceae &nbsp; Genus: Caladenia &nbsp; Species: lobata &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: Other<br />graeme w9Sun, 12 Oct 2014 20:05:00 GMTCaladenia - Yellow Spider Orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/260+caladenia-yellow-spider-orchidhttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/260+caladenia-yellow-spider-orchid<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/260+caladenia-yellow-spider-orchid"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W260__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> The orchid normally has rich yellow petals some times white to pale yellow are seen.
