At the River

Pink Fingers Caladenia carnea.  No, wait- amateur botanist alert...more likely Dusky Fingers Caladenia fuscata. Thin dark stem and incurving labellum with pointy bits.  At first this seemed a white flower but actually it is tinged pink. Carnea flowers later, is slightly larger, has thicker, greener stem and less common in this area.
