Good morning! It's starting to feel like soup weather so I made soup for you before you woke up. What kind of soup? Please don't ask about the soup ingredients.
It's secret soup just for you nee-chan. Do you want some?

Why Woodcock Orchid? Well, if you squint a bit… from sideways on, the top looks like a little bird’s head, while the lobes on each side of the label look like wings.

A bit of autumn downtime, and I’ve managed to get back to the #orchid photos from this spring. I’d set myself the challenge to try to get one good photo of each species I saw this year. Here’s no. 11, the Woodcock Orchid (𝘖𝘱𝘩𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘹). We found this one in late April in the Ardèche. #botany

This little Microtis orchid came up spontaneously in one pot a few years ago and has been spreading across it, presumably vegetatively.

I'm beyond excited for next years @mariposanature.bsky.social Orchids of Basilicata, Campania & Puglia tour - it's a renowned orchid-hunting destination, and a potent place for hybrid finds. Two places to join me and Miki Vigano there have just opened up...

I accidentally added this movie to my to watch list on some service one time thinking it was something else. Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Spent this morning at Kings Park for a tour of the orchid conservation program.
We got to see the seed bank, the cell culture lab, the cryolab and the greenhouse. I even got to hold some cloned Queen of Shebas! Kings Park scientists are doing amazing work […]
