Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She’s been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security.

Another rainy morning, which I like, and this is what the orchid shelf is looking like. I need to rearrange everything to fit in a big Sharry Baby that needs better/more light to bloom...but that seems like too big a project right now...
Lots of different orchids in bloom in front of a big east facing window.

Sorting out old photos, including these from Easter 2019 in Sicily (which was colder than the UK!). Orchis brancifortii, Orchis italica, Neotinea lactea, Serapias vomeracea all from the stupendously rich turf between Trapani and Zingaro, NW Sicily. @europeanorchids.bsky.social

Khanna: "The speaker looked frazzled last night. I think he's totally lost it. He's attacking the bill and he's not showing up to hear the survivors. The survivors wanted this bill. Then he's voting for a bill he criticized. And he's lost the confidence of half the people in his own caucus."

Epidendrum glossaspis was found on the roadside leading up to Gualaceo 🇪🇨 . It is interesting this is non-resupinate meaning the flowers do not turn round 180 degrees during development leaving the lip in uppermost position! 🌿

Pink sun orchids (Thelymitra carnea) near the Genoa River, East Gippsland, VIC. Quite a common species around Genoa in both heathland and open grassland - often combining with other blue-flowering sun orchids growing nearby to form interesting hybrids. #orchids #inthefield #ozplants

Thelymitra macrophylla - Scented Sun Orchid

I haven't seen too many Scented Sun Orchids this year. In good years you can find them with numerous bluish purple, fragrant flowers. Endemic to the southwest of Western Australia

In Bloom: Cattleya C. G. Roebling 'Sentinel' (gaskelliana x purpurata). A very old hybrid created in 1895. Smells like baby powder. First time bloom.
