User's notes

Leaves and flowers smaller than other nearby C. valida colonies (where flowering is now almost completely finished). 3 plants flowering. Flowers approx. 20mm x 25mm (little finger tip in photo for reference). Only seemed to be 4-5 calli on each flower - so not sure if these are C. valida or not. Glen
