Awesome! Do you have any habitat shots? What does the area look like? Looks a bit like open forest.

I haven't got any general habitat shots, but I am going hunting again in the morning, I will post a couple then, but you are right, it is mostly open forest and at the moment extremely dry which is having a huge impact on flowering time and species flowering. There were some summer fires here last year that have virtually wiped out whole colonies of plants and made others explode into bloom.

You guys got some really weird and wonderful stuff growing in your grounds. Keep them coming!
