Pheladenia - Blue Fairy Orchid
Back to Orchids
This orchid has had an interesting naming history. Originally classified as
a Caladenia, it was then placed into the then new genus Cyanicula with a number
of other orchids that were also originally Caladenias. Recently, new research
including DNA work has resulted in this orchid being placed in a genus of
its own. It is widespread across the south west. One of its favoured habitats
is soil pockets on granite outcrops.
