But, on the other hand, you will be in a different country 👍🏻

So it seems another non native species that has gone crazy on here.
The island is full of huge ginger plants, hydrangea, gunnera some weird climber...all non native.

God help them if Himalayan Balsam gets here, it will run Riot in this climate

Cheers dude.
It was doing my head in

Paul B @blazctid.bsky.social · 19h

Thanks.

Searched amaryllis and it said they are native to Southern Africa, so thought I was wrong.

Hi. I know your on hols and all that, so sorry to bug you.

I'm in The Azores, and these things are flowering all over. Side of roads, in the shade, full sun

What are they?

Thick rhizome like clumps, no leaves to speak of 🤔

Thought amarylis, but now really don't know

It's since I left the UK.

I've had 1 like, then two 0 likes. The only one that had a few is HOL, and I assume that is because you tagged it to the EIO40 feed

Is that a thing?

Is it because I'm not ranking them?

RIP.
Big fan of the Moodies since the mid 90s.

Lucky to see these guys play live a few times.

The music lives on

Back to Factory.

Got my hands on Squirrel and Gman orange box set by a band I'd not heard of called Happy Mondays.

But they were on Factory, so should be good. Not half.

Tart Tart was my favourite.
