At least 7 patches with a dozen or so plants in each. Scattered across part of a slope that is usually the densest infestation of St. John's Wort on the Pinnacle NR. What persistence!

Microtis are the weeds we would have had if we didn’t have the exotic weeds. They are very good at colonising disturbed landscapes.

Thanks Matt.
Not such a bad weed to have. Maybe they'll take over the slope if we keep spraying the SJW out :-)

I was surprised at how many patches of Microtis I noticed at Callum Brae yesterday - among the acres of saffron thistles, Paterson's curse, St John's Wort....
