Nice variations in the some of the later sun orchids with spots west of Mallacoota, VIC. I've decided to go with sun orchids with spots rather than spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) as there are maybe just as many plants at this location that could also be T. juncifolia - or hybrids #orchids

Going on holiday to St Ives from Paddington in 1980 with Golden Rail, and every seat being allocated.

So quick and comfortable. I was so excited, as in east Suffolk we have Craven 101s and 37s.

We had mince pies on Sunday. I was shopping when hungry.

They were very average.

After what looked like a goodish start to the flowering season only one plant on the road in actually made it to full-flowering - the very dry spring affected most other plants around the property. #orchids #cymbidium

This is a fabulous read. The figures might be specific to the USA, but the principle applies wherever neocapitalism has been applied. Read it, and feel it in your bones.

Inside it was a hole in the ground, and smelt like nothing on earth. Nice that ladies get their own hole in the ground.

Pretty sure this place wasn't here the last time I visited Utrecht. A big selection of their own beers. I'll always go for the NEIPA's first. #bskybeer
