Just been reading an old paper by one of Darwin's mates it's about an orchid with it's whatsits down a one and a half foot pipe. They worked out that on Madagascar a moth with a massively long tongue must exist. It was found about thirty years later. Brilliant. That reasoning takes some lateral thinking and real brains. I am having trouble with G-code. Not real trouble but I am limited to development and not mega speed production. I'm old and a bit thick. I'll have to flood my head with cutting water like I do with the CNC machine.
Thank you for visiting. Hope you enjoyed the pictures. Any comment, or correction to any information or identification I get wrong, is most welcome. John
My mother has one of those that was in flower recently
ReplyDeleteSimon: Great. Orchids are gradually gaining popularity in peoples' homes.
DeleteLittle jewels.
ReplyDeleteWilma: Sometimes I think we miss the small, delicate flowers in the rush for modern showy flowers.
DeleteBeautiful - such delicate flowers.
ReplyDeleteRR: I love the variety of blooms I get from my little collection.

Adrian: Yes. I think I have seen film of that on one of the nature programmes.
