Great article on Le Chat Rotund in Nodge
This is an excellent lunchtime read.
I’ve never had much interest in visiting Norwich but this has me reconsidering.

For the last in our November-long series of pieces on pubs and pub culture, @fred-gs.bsky.social visits The Fat Cat in Norwich, a pub that's close to his heart for many reasons. We hope you enjoy this beautiful salutation of an all-time great.

Nice variations in the some of the later sun orchids with spots west of Mallacoota, VIC. I've decided to go with sun orchids with spots rather than spotted sun orchid (Thelymitra ixioides) as there are maybe just as many plants at this location that could also be T. juncifolia - or hybrids #orchids

Cymbidium sauve (Grass-leaf Cymbidium / snake orchid) in the rain at Corunna, NSW. After what looked like a goodish start to the flowering season only one plant on the road in actually made it to full-flowering - the very dry spring affected most other plants around the property. #orchids #cymbidium

This is a fabulous read. The figures might be specific to the USA, but the principle applies wherever neocapitalism has been applied. Read it, and feel it in your bones.
Mike Green is writing some amazing stuff at the moment. It's not in the delta, it's in the level and the cost structure. Read this and you will understand Angrynomics on a new level: www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-...

Not much for #WildflowerHour this week: sorry: but the Winter heliotrope I photographed in flower on November 6th is already going to seed!

Pretty sure this place wasn't here the last time I visited Utrecht. A big selection of their own beers. I'll always go for the NEIPA's first. #bskybeer

For #BSkyBeer:
Northern Monk Further Beyond New World DIPA. 8.4%.
After a week of porters, this was a taste of fresh citrus across my tongue.
Packs a punch too.

On this cold, rainy and windy Sunday, how about some spring colour?:
Campanula rhodensis. The Small Rhodian Bellflower.

Bonus #AnOrchidADay:
Anacamptis Papilonacea.
On a beach on Rhodes, we knew it was there, Jon gave a hint which direction to go.
And then I saw it, and I gave a squeal of delight. Something orchid chasing can bring.

One of the United States most recognizable #silouette
I saw my first Sandhill Crane as they winter at the Salton Sea in Southern California
I couldn’t resist a second #BirdOfTheDay because this might be one of the first photos I print and frame

Rosy hyacinth orchids (Dipodium roseum) out in the light rain at Corunna, NSW. Dipodium are the most visible summer orchids around Corunna with 3 x species growing locally. This patch of D. roseum next to the track behind the house are usually the the first ones out most years #Orchids #OzPlants
