A little to see but the petals began to look like horned. Our orchid Listera ovata, looks more like a blade of grass.<br /><br />Best regards PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-27899933667700343132011-02-28T10:24:57.888+11:002011-02-28T10:24:57.888+11:00Hi Peter.

They are inspired by this orchid. ;-)<br /><br />PeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-44165669311482761322011-02-27T21:49:22.526+11:002011-02-27T21:49:22.526+11:00Hi Martin.

I was very conscious of the fact that it is almost "your area". <br />Happy to "share" as you put it.<br />Re the relativities, it is the same with birding too. The calls of small birds get softer, but the shrieks of baby Yellow-tailed Black Cockies get more annoying.<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-76846144646810733102011-02-27T19:39:23.518+11:002011-02-27T19:39:23.518+11:00Denis

It is closer to our place so I hope to get out there sometime in the next few days.<br /><br />Your comment about the ground getting further away is another proof of my "Theory of Relatively Everything". In terms of my running, kilometres have got 10% longer. However, as judged by the way it fits my waist, my belt has got 10% shorter so relatively all is the same! <br /><br />MartinFlabmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934077052437339591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-51588591078089457882011-02-27T18:40:51.349+11:002011-02-27T18:40:51.349+11:00Yes, Mick, you are right.

And then I have to stand up again.<br />Its getting harder.<br />Or is the ground getting further away?<br />Cheers<br />DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19288377.post-90433517709945550202011-02-27T13:34:28.823+11:002011-02-27T13:34:28.823+11:00Tiny, beautiful flowers!
