Location not correctly shown on map. Nice find.

Thanks :) I'll try to fix that up

Thanks Lukee I have updated the location.

I also have a query about the date. Was this really January? All other flower sightings are from October and November.
   19 Jul 2017
I believe November 6 is the day he found it. Lukee messaged me privately about it and I encouraged him to report it on CNM.

Thanks, Matt. That sounds much more likely.
   20 Jul 2017
Yeah, not sure what happened there... Sighted on 5/11/2016 :)
   20 Jul 2017
Thanks for confirming that.

I've just amended the reported date time as this sighting was mucking up the flower months statistic for this species, saying that it flowered in Jan :)
