Together our 61 Australian observers accounted for substantial contributions to the overall records made all contributing;
August 6 % of the 103, 485 observations recorded in Australia while in September AACS records made up 7.1% of the 150, 709 observations recorded in Australia'
The 150, 709 records made in September is an increase of 20,000 or an increase of 14% on the previous year.
It is interesting to see the amazing number of orchid records that have been place on iNaturalist over the past few weeks.
You can install the Wild Orchid Watch (WOW) app on your mobile device, simply by typing in your internet browser: app.wildorchidwatch.org (or select the button below) and follow the prompts. The WOW app is a progressive web app, so it sits on the web, not in the app store, but looks just like a regular app once installed.
