This last week has more than doubled the recorded locations of this orchid. I think this may be a first for Aranda Bushland.

Hi Michael. It turns out these have been known in Aranda for many years, however this may only be the first actual report apart from the gossip on the grapevine. I saw this plant today, and it is quite stunning!
