2 plants. Both chewed off. Not many other leaves around anywhere, doesn't look like a good season for them. Soil maybe too moist.

The last 3 laNinas caused a lot of groundcover growth which probably was shading out the little orchids...

Yes, I was out on Sunday and very disappointing - just a few leaves and nothing else.

Interesting to hear guys, thanks. Other orchids all seem to be doing OK. Plenty of sun orchids and hymenochilus coming up.
