April 2024 #AnOrchidAWeek

As orchid hunters head to Rhodes for the 2025 season, I don’t want to steal their limelight. So I’m finishing now. Here are highlights of an 8-day holiday where the fun stretched the whole year!

@dunnjons @Mariposa_Nature @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour @thenewgalaxy Me: Ooooh, I feel seen 🤗 (‘though I doubt you can guess the half of it)

Also me: Harumph, I’ve lost the sweepstake on the subject of your new book 😤

[Jenny Harris @JnnyHarris]

@StripeySteph Thanks Steph. Though surely you’d prefer a nice spider?

Since we started doing #NoMowMay in 2020, I’ve been hoping for an orchid to pop up in my lawn. But I’ll take two Pink Waxcap (Porpolomopsis calyptriformis)!
AKA Ballerina Waxcap… of course they are 🩰

@thenewgalaxy I was thrilled to find them and can still hardly believe it 😁

I was photographing Reed Buntings on a path through the reed beds, when I was distracted by these bright golden flower heads. Could it be Buttonweed? #wildflowerhour #wildflowerID @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany

It looks a bit past its best, but I think this may be Black Horehound (Ballota nigra) bringing a touch of colour to a nature reserve car park. Alkborough, Humber Estuary #wildflowerhour #wildflowerID @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany

Domiciliary dental care is vital — it reaches those who can’t get to a clinic. Yet it’s too often an afterthought in planning. One day we’ll all (hopefully) be older — will the system be ready to provide the care we’d want for ourselves? #OralHealth

@StripeySteph @dunnjons @thenewgalaxy Looks like you timed your visit perfectly Steph. That is a beautiful example 🤩

Not sure how many guesses it would have taken me if I hadn’t had a hunch your post was a clue🕵🏻‍♀️ 😄

Utterly bonkers about conkers!

Also to note other Exec members complete their terms of office after faithfully serving the society: @chrisvernazza, @therealdtd & @PaulaWaterhous1 🤩

Fun too to catch up briefly with many friends and former colleagues 🥰

Plus bonus brisk walk across Hyde Park! #tubestrike

Great to see Dr Oosh Devalia @ooshie101 installed as BSPD President at yesterday’s AGM @RCMLondon #BSPD2025

From our time serving together @bspduk Exec, I know her to have sound judgement, boundless enthusiasm & great people skills

Sending all good wishes for the year ahead!

I love it when the #wildflowerhour challenge prompts me to find a plant I’ve never noticed before. Could this be Trifid Bur Marigold (Bidens tripartita)?
