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
Early on a freezing cold morning, with the frost still on rails and sleepers, Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' Pacific 35017 'Belgian Marine' races through Hook on the down through line with an express from Waterloo. There are no signs of the impending electrification, and a single covered van sits in the down freight spur. The Bulleid's exhaust is drifting forward across the smokebox in front of the chimney, which gives an indication of how fast it was travelling.

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.
Ze suis une petite arsouille, toujours en mouvement et qui fait plein de bêtises dont harceler mon papa Sam, mais avouez que je suis craquant tout de même ?

I'm a little rascal, always moving and doing a lot of foolish things like harassing my daddy Sam, but be honest, I'm a cutie no ?

Hi,
Some old Mustad hooks and Edgar Sealey & Sons hooks too.
If anyone knows how old these are I'd love to know. All packets still contain hooks in perfect condition, almost tempted to try using them but not sure if they'd be similar quality to today's hooks?
I acquired these as part of an old fly tying bench I bought on the weekend. The former owner had unfortunately passed away, however I hope to do the bench justice!
Makes you want to start tying/fishing right now huh?
Regards,
