5-10 plants in flower. Unfortunately some animal enjoys eating the orchid tuber and a few places have been dug over - pic 3

Probably a victim of the choughs. They love scratching up the tasty tubers!

From time-to-time I see Sulphur-crested Cockatoos feed by digging up plant food in Black Mountain.
