The Purple Orchid Tree is an exotic tropical tree that blooms over a long period of time. The beautiful & fragrant, classic, Orchid-like flowers of Bauhinia purpurea makes this small tree, native to India, a favourite of many plant lovers. In fall, before the leaves drop, Orchid-Tree is festooned with many showy and delightfully fragrant, five-inch-wide blossoms, the narrow purple, pink, and lavender petals arranged to closely resemble an orchid. These flowers appear on the trees from September through November and are a beautiful sight to see, creating a vivid splash of color in the autumn landscape. Purple orchid tree can be easily distinguished from Orchid Tree (Bauhinia variegata) in that the petals of Purple orchid tree are narrower and do not overlap. On the other hand, the petals of Bauhinia variegata are broad and overlap - it never open fully flat. The flowers are followed by 12-inch-long, slender, brown, flat seedpods which usually persist on the tree throughout the winter. The foliage light green and deeply notched at the tip. Bauhinia purpurea can reach up to 20 feet tall and have a 25 foot crown
Found this little hook and line while on my latest winter walk through a wooded area. kinda funny to find it here around a tree. I want to know the story behind how it got stuck here.
This great statue was by a bar in Benidorm, he has a great expression, and has the sort of eyes that where ever you move he seems to be looking at you, quite spooky really.
With nothing else to do, Soon sorted out these wall hooks with Tom picking up a few for claws. Time on hands a big number with the last hours remaining before the move into the new shop location proper.

I wonder how it came to be that this hook was placed on this windowsill. The place was abandoned and there was no reason for anyone to care about such a small detail, yet the hook was there. I imagine a small motion placing it there, a resigned gesture, an intention to be respectful of this lonely place.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why Jemma is so hard to photograph -_-

This kite is uncommon in Ecuador and feeds primarily on land snails. I felt fortunate to see it, and even more fortunate when I found one in south Texas a few years after seeing this one.
