Sadly all the labellums have beeen tripped otherwise a species ID would've been possible.

I recognise the log in the background. This is the H. bicolor that was shown on the Black Mountain orchid walk.

Lots of foot traffic all through there at the moment.

A lot of people have visited that area over the past few years. It has become a very popular spot to look for orchids. I have been meaning to write a quick summary/study on visitation rates to popular orchid sites in an attempt to quantify how many people visit these locations and how often they are visited.

There were at least 8 groups out there today, myself included so can't complain. Would be very interesting to gauge visitation numbers.
