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

The Hook Head Lighthouse by night, looking across some mist covered fields. The red trail is a car moving through the image during the exposure.

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.

Can't remember where I was for this one. I liked the texture of the wall.

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,

Tulip Etimo Rose crochet hooks from Yarnstick. I bought one last week and now have another two.

I fear my crochet addiction will bankrupt us! I will have to crochet us a tent to live in! :)

Getting closer to done. I'll need to order more of each colour, though. (Yes, I'm putting the loops too close together, but I don't want to pull everything out, and I didn't want to change density half way through either. This is a "learning experience.") I have six strips of the tweed left.
