I went out there today Michael and took a look around. I'm pretty sure I saw the leaves of this plant with some very tiny buds at the bottom where it's starting to come up. Also saw some sun orchid buds and some beautiful yellow flowers, buttercups I think...

It usually starts flowering in early October. Last year very few plants appeared. As it is an endangered orchid its best not to give out the precise location.
