A decent morning out with George at Inverkeithing & Loch Leven, near the Kirkgate. Several Broad-leaved Helleborine's in bud at Inverkeithing & my 4th Scottish Cetti's (2nd male) Warbler from the heritage trail just before the Kirkgate park.

Caladenia flava - Cowslip Orchid

This Cowslip orchid, with its distinctive bright red markings, is likely the currently undescribed subspecies referred to as the Brookton Cowslip (Caladenia flava subsp. 'late red') 💛❤️

It's technically not Iowa wildflower Wednesday anymore, but I just published an outstanding post by Emily Bredthauer.

She featured a rare native orchid: Great Plains’ Ladies’ Tresses

Gomesa crispa in bloom - this species with lemon blooms was part of an exchange with Cambridge University Botanical Gardens. Exchanging plants is an important part of our conservation mission 🌿

Phalaenopsis I-Hsin Dream Bubble 'Pink Dove'
#orchids #bloomscrolling #flowers #pink #mothorchid #blooms

Longest opened flower, on the bottom, has faded to a paler pink, the newest to open, at the top, is almost burgundy colored in the center

Big pink and white moth orchid blooms with a big pelvic lip

Some orchid blooms reflected in the big window they sit in front of...also probably the last time the window was clean...

I’m having one of THOSE days. Slug ate through my Cattlianthe Bactia f coerulea flower spike. 😩😮‍💨 Hopefully it can rebloom next year.

Flowers in the late afternoon light…some days it is all about these small, fleeting moments.
