I blame you lot...

[Kat1e]

thanks to a thread on here I keep getting distracted by orchids! Here's some from today (plus random other things)...

[john dawson]

its ok, im getting quite used to being blamed for nothing

 

hey, whatever floats your boat......................

[Charlieh]

definatly not loving the last one (the plant not the picture )

 

going to like it even less tomorrow evening after 7hrs on a clearing saw scrubing out an overgrown ditch to control the blooming stuff,

[Kat1e]

Ha ha sounds like a fun day. I've heard it's a bit of a pain!

[Charlieh]

i end up doing a couple of days a week controlling the stuff through summer into october, if you only have a few plants, pull them up as they only root a few inches deep, got a school group out on friday helping me, then two days next week with angling clubs, then the national park rangers the week after that, and hopefully we will start to control the stuff, but it grows so well, and the bee keepers love it

 

anyway im diverting your thread so i will stop

[Kat1e]

Thankfully that photo wasn't taken in my woods so no pulling it up for me! Ha ha no, feel free to divert as much as you like, there wasn't really a point to my thread anyway, just photos I thought people on here might like

I lobve the little willow pollard with the root flares, wicked little image.
