Nice find! Odd to find one without pigment, but it's great to see these guys exploding into bloom everywhere!

Seems like you found a white C. fuscata just over a week ago as well Kito, good find for you too.

With the abundance of flowering specimens right now, I'm not super surprised to find some weird morphs popping up on Bruce Ridge and Black Mountain. Did you find this guy in the same area? It's a veritable sea of blooms there right now.

Yeah Black Mountain, I've heard that there are a few more white ones at another location in the nature reserve, it's nice to see the colour variation of these.
