The blue fairy orchid or blue beard, is the only species of the genus Pheladenia in the orchid family, and is endemic to Australia. Plants have usually blue flowers with relatively short, broad sepals and petals and an unusual labellum. One of its favoured habitats is on and around granite outcrops. Interestingly, granite outcrops with their small areas of very thin soil cover attract quite specialised flora. Shot against shade but I supplemented available light with an LED light.
