P.S. This is one of my favourite paths. I once saw two red squirrels here, so close. One rufous and the other black, a variety usually found closer to the Alps.

🌲 Forest soils – underrated climate protectors 🌍
Beneath every step in this picture, soils store more carbon than all plants and the atmosphere combined.
Moss, leaves & roots create a finely tuned ecosystem that captures CO₂, filters water, and sustains biodiversity.

I know I'm spamming you all with the world's largest flower this week but look at THIS! A rare glimpse inside Rafflesia arnoldi!

I think these are the flowers we could often by dried, as ornaments, when I was child. I found them magical! #plantsky #bloomscrolling
Strawflowers, xerochrysum bracteatum, native of Australia, often grown as an annual outdoors in the UK but this was part of a substantial bush growing in an experimental hot and dry biome at @rbgkew.bsky.social last year 🌱

A young "Star flower" plant (Orbea variegata) with its first bloom. It is a carrion flower, but am happy to report the smell is pretty mild. 🌱

Je vais travailler avec un peu de romarin sur la table, a cote de moi, aujourd'hui. J'entend souvent que ca aide la concentration.
I'm going to work with some sprigs of rosemary on the table, beside me, today. I often hear that it helps with concentration.

Flute Demonstration - Low D
Here is a flute I built.
Plays down to a low D4 (293Hz) in about the same range as a tenor recorder. Please enjoy! : ]

One of my posts. No, Aloes do NOT hate direct sun. They are partial to full sun plants, actually…just depends on variety & environment.

Myth – Aloes Don’t Like Direct Sun

Check out this pincushion protea I found growing on the other side of the lake! It almost looks like something microscopic you'd find growing IN the lake.
The 2026 calendar is looking great and I'm excited to share, but had to take a time out to photograph this beaut first.

I find sweet peace in depths of autumn woods,
Where grow the ragged ferns and roughened moss;
The naked, silent trees have taught me this,—
The loss of beauty is not always loss! 💚

Second layer on my latest project... Paintings of a fountain 'Le loup qui pleure' which was sculpted by Yves Varanguin. These are in gouache, but I shall probably do some in other media too and see what emerges...
