A sole D. laxum looking healthy, but all it's surrounding friends were well past their best and basically dead.

I havn't seen any D. laxum this year, which I put down to lack of rain in Feb/March.

Yeah there don't seem to be many around. This same colony had over 10 plants last year, but yesterday there was only 1. Also I checked some of the other D. revolutum colonies and nothing at all!

Hopefully some of the rains last week will bring some late greenhood action. I saw some budding ones in Brindabella Valley yesterday...
