Has hispida flowered at Aranda before, or is this the first time?

Hi Matt. I've seen buds at this site before but never mature flowers. I checked this site yesterday (11April) and found many of the plants dug up, presumably by the choughs that patrol this area. However I did manage to find one fairly advanced bud in a protected area, so I'm hoping that might survive. There are a couple of well advanced buds at the other known site.
