Wild Orchids 2014

The summer is over and there are no more trips out to find orchids growing in the wild, so uts a final update to Steve's Orchids for 2014. It was a busy year with over 40 site visits and 13 new species and varieties ticked off my sightings list. But that still leaves some for the future.
The hardest to find was the minute Bog Orchid. 80 miles each way, and we managed to find 2 specimens in a rather damp bit of wilderness.

The Discworld Stamp Collector

I have just added a couple of new topics to The Discworld Stamp Collector including an indepth look at the most Must Have stamp in the series; the $5 Brass Bridge Blue Triangle.

The Discworld Stamp Collector

I have started a new website that provides an in-depth look at a few of the Discworld stamp issues over the years. Called The Discworld Stamp Collector it is acompanion to the Facebook page of the same name. The first two articles look at the oginal Tower of Art stamp issued in 2004, and the Penny Patrician of three years later.

Summer Orchids

I've been to a number of places over the Summer looking for wild orchids, some very local, and some up in Northumberland. The latter has provided opportunities to see some of the most localised species and variants in Britain including the Lindisfarne Helleborine and the Tyne Helleborine. And Bishop Middleham quarry is home to the most spectacular display of Dark Red Helleborines. View more on my Orchid website.

Spring Orchids

Steve' Orchids has just been updated to include my Spring visits to a number of wild orchid sites. These have included woodland on the West Wales coast to see the elusive White Helleborines, a fen on Anglesey for the Narrow-leaved Marsh Orchid, and a number of sites where the lovely Bee Orchid grows. Have a look at the 'Happiest Bee Orchid'.
