Notes:

the last time i revisited the location to take a look at the more matured stage of pink-colony, i found this before the already discovered colony, they must been late, and had because of the weather/temperatur-conditions (fast snow-cover, which stayed 1-2 weeks ) expirience some stess at the developement or (or as the title suggest) arborted just half way. !!?
