Six years ago:
Jools dropped me off at the station with time to buy my ticket, then take shelter under the insufficient awning.
I saw Insufficient Awning support the Fall at the UEA in 1981.

Caladenia latifolia - Pink Fairy Orchids
A common terrestrial orchid seen throughout southern parts of Australia. This Pink Fairy was seen in early October in a coastal area in the south of Western Australia

Would love to see these. A wonderful shot by Glen, as always
Double ducks west of Mallacoota, East Gippsland, VIC. Didn't see a lot of large duck orchids (Caleana major) on my couple of brief East Gippsland trips this year but did see scattered plants in full flight at a couple of locations. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Great article on Le Chat Rotund in Nodge
This is an excellent lunchtime read.
I’ve never had much interest in visiting Norwich but this has me reconsidering.

For the last in our November-long series of pieces on pubs and pub culture, @fred-gs.bsky.social visits The Fat Cat in Norwich, a pub that's close to his heart for many reasons. We hope you enjoy this beautiful salutation of an all-time great.

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

Cymbidium sauve (Grass-leaf Cymbidium / snake orchid) in the rain at Corunna, NSW. 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.
Mike Green is writing some amazing stuff at the moment. It's not in the delta, it's in the level and the cost structure. Read this and you will understand Angrynomics on a new level: www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

Not much for #WildflowerHour this week: sorry: but the Winter heliotrope I photographed in flower on November 6th is already going to seed!

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

For #BSkyBeer:
Northern Monk Further Beyond New World DIPA. 8.4%.
After a week of porters, this was a taste of fresh citrus across my tongue.
Packs a punch too.
