Just one the page you gave me to look up it says rare. Yes this one was November.
CharliePrice
No not rare , can be found early august..more common sept/oct/nov for spring .

Yes I agree, rather unique in colour. Had never seen any that colour before. Liffey Falls is a lovely place to visit. So is this one actually rare?
