User's notes

Okay, I think it is fair to assume these guys are everywhere here. There is nowhere I've walked in this section where they haven't been. Hundreds of leaves. Obviously thriving here!

Have you found any true vallida in Tallaganda, or has it all been aff. jeansii?
   22 Oct 2024
@MattM all aff jeanesii, not a single valida!

Very interesting. Perhaps the two species disagree with each other and prefer to live apart? 🤔

@MattM potentially! Heaps of C reflexa up the same track, so they don't mind the wasp orchids. Maybe just don't like same season competition? Or there is something there which just suits aff jeanesii better?
