Griff Hollows is an idyllic little place hidden away right next to a main road and suburban houses on the edge of Nuneaton. The natural wooded hollow with a brook running through it is full of native bluebells in springtime. The novelist George Eliot grew up near here and it appears in 'The Mill on the Floss' as 'Red Deeps' where the characters Maggie and Philip meet in secret.
In the depths of my hard drive I found these lost shots from 2006. This was the very first show I photographed. n od at the Blue Ox Bar in Brainerd, Minnesota.

Bruguiera parviflora (Roxb.) Wight & Arn. ex Griff. Rhizophoraceae. CN: [Malay and regional vernacular names - Lenggadai], Thua khao, Koahaena, Smallflower Bruguiera, Small-leafed orange mangrove. Distribution - from India throughout South East Asia, to the Malay Peninsula and the Solomon Islands and northern Australia. Habitat - inner side of mangrove forests. Tree to 20 m; knee roots abundant; bark smooth, grey. Leaves elliptic, acute; lamina 4–13 cm long, 2.5–4 cm wide; petiole 1.5–2 cm long; stipules c. 4.5 cm long. Inflorescence 3–10-flowered; peduncle c. 2 cm long; pedicels 6–13 mm long; flowers yellow-green. Hypanthium 7–9 mm long, slightly or distinctly ribbed. Sepals usually 8, c. 2 mm long, erect in fruit. Petals 1.5–2 mm long, bearded outside near base; lobes c. 0.5 mm long; terminal bristles 3 on each lobe and 1 in sinus, about as long as lobes. Anthers oblong, distinctly shorter than filaments. Fruit 1–2 cm long. Hypocotyl 7–20 cm long, 5 mm wide, not ribbed, falling with fruit attached; fruit wall persistent as a collar on seedling, the sepals pointing downwards.
Note:
1. Bruguiera can be distinguished from other genera in the Rhizophoraceae family by the number of calyx lobes (8-15). Ceriops spp. have 5 calyx lobes while Rhizophora spp. have 4.
2. Bruguiera parviflora can be distinguished from other, large-flowered, Bruguiera species by it's small flowers and multi-flowered inflorescences and petal spine longer than the petal lobes. It is further distinguished from B. cylindrica by it's long, narrow, ribbed, calyx with short lobes slightly reflexed during flowering, and adpressed during propagule maturation. It also has small yellowish-green to light green leaves with slender petioles (<2mm wide).
