Welcome home, what a contrast by the way the stripy looking flower is not an orchid but a type of arum, possibly an arisaema. (I THINK!)
ReplyDeleteHi P - I checked your comment out with my father in law who is my go to guy for orchids and who had given us several of these plants - he agrees that it is an arum as the ground orchids actually have ear like petal. B
Deletemy experience in staying home this march for a change has been to revel in the highly changeable weather. isn't it amazing that we can travel so far, so easily? welcome home!
ReplyDeletewelcome home, love your misty mountain & what a beautiful old cottage you have found in Scotland!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely, quiet landscape your found yourself in Barry. Scotland is a land of mist,fog and story, much like Ireland, a place I have visited. What a nice contrast then to jump into your photos of such vibrant colored flowers, plants, etc. as you enter autumn and here in New Mexico, we enter spring. Welcome Home.
ReplyDeleteI missed your posts and now I know why.
ReplyDeleteThe Scottish Home has a lovely sense of balance about it.
