Native groundcover plants are hard hit this season due to overgrazing and little rain through autumn, winter and so far spring. I'm afraid the little that grows will be grazed heavily including the sun orchid.

... but if you can please keep an eye on this one Peter, close by is an unidentified orchid - perhaps even the same plant.

Yes Waltraud, I will follow up each day. This is the one I posted earlier. This morning there were quite a few young rabbits along the Blue metal road .....
