Corallorhiza striata, our Striped Coralroot, blooming on the Mesa trail. Much less common in Colorado than our Spotted species. #nativeplants #orchids

For #SundayPixMemorableFood.

My 21st birthday, wit me cutting a cake adorned with Norwich and Ipswich players, and Micky Channon just scoring a ghoul.

Also: trifle, sandwiches, crisps.

Bottles of homebrewed rhubarb wine on the rack at the back.

Favorite images of 2025, Day 6: A roseate spoonbill splashes its wings through the water, causing an explosion of droplets as it looks straight ahead towards the camera. One of my favorite photos I've ever taken. #birds

Having made 2 (two) Christmas cakes in August, I think we will try one today.

For quality control purposes. Of course.

Anyone want to see pictures from our trip to #Svalbard a few years back? There'll be words and pictures?

Interesting form of Thelymitra × irregularis (crested sun orchid) near Karbeethong, East Gippsland, VIC.

Only one roadside plant out at this location with fewer spots and richer colours than other nearby populations.I haven't seen this beautiful natural hybrid here before.

For #BSkyBeer:

Vault City Strawberry Coconut Crème Delight.

Not to everyone's taste, but I like the fruit with sour aftertaste. Sometimes its good to change from Porters and Stouts.

This is one I buy over and over again, as it refreshes.

Saw close to a hundred of these this weekend in Marin County, California. In the right forest at the right time these can be very prolific. This will be out for a few more weeks in coastal California in deep dark forests. #orchid #wildflower
