Saving the Threatened Audas Spider-orchid (Caladenia audasii) from Extinction

The ANPC is working with the Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria (RBGV), Friends of Grampians Gariwerd and the Australasian Native Orchid Society (Victoria Group) Inc. on this exciting project. Approximately 50 endangered Caladenia audasii seedlings are now growing at the Orchid Conservation shadehouse thanks to our Victorian Government Biodiversity On-ground Action grant. More seed will be sown this spring. They will be reintroduced back into their native habitat in 2020. Pollinator baiting is currently underway. There are only 5 known plants left in the wild! https://anpc.asn.au/audas_spider-orchid
