I also have a query about the date. Was this really January? All other flower sightings are from October and November.

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.

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 :)
