Alan this appears to be a new location of this threatened orchid - does that sound right to you?

Yes - there are other records (on nearby properties) but the 1st here. We've only seen it flower in 2016 - after a very wet winter. In 2017 Anna Murphy from NPWS visited in the hope of seeing them again in flower and to look for other potential sites on our block. They didn't flower.
