I found this really interesting -
Also the bit about the plant disappearing.
We had this at Cape Point - never new what happened to our Orchid.
Their happy ending was finding that they could use pollinators to see if endangered plants were present in the area. Amazing.

They were clearly excited, and rightly so, by the possibilities this offered. Thanks for posting.
