User's notes
Baby Canberra Spider Orchid leaves appearing in their earliest form at the beginning of the coming season. Very interesting to note that these guys must actually first appear in late April, giving them approx 3+ months before they come into full bloom. So they are actually around in one form or another for about half of the year. As even when they flower in mid/late August, they are still often around through to around November, despite looking hagged.
Tony I have approved in this instance because this is a known location and the same exact rock that they sprout from, I was monitoring them...
