The White Helleborine (Cephalanthera damasonium) population is getting stronger on the University ground. I counted over 20 specimens, all in small area. White helleborine is a handsome and beautiful orchid but is quite rare in the West of England. This orchid is classed as vulnerable and threatened species in the UK. Bath, BANES, England.
This is a common weekend breakfast at our home. Poached egg on bacon avocado toast with lemon pepper. Very tasty and hard to beat.
(Full disclosure: I accidentally over-cooked this egg, normally the yoke is runny… but it was still tasty!)

A mushroom with two common names, it is also known as the Poached Egg fungus. Very common, edible after washing to remove gluten. I've tried these and they're not worth the effort.

White Helleborine (Cephalanthera damasonium) revisited. A beautiful but quite rare orchid in the West of England and the plant is classed as vulnerable and threatened in the UK. Bath, BANES, England. Close-up images on the left were taken with Canon EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, a bigger picture on the right was taken with Sigma 24 mm f1.4 ART lens at f2.
White Helleborine (Cephalanthera damasonium). I was pleasantly stunned to find these rare white beauties on the university ground on the way home. The ground around the buildings is managed responsibly allowing room for wildflowers and wildlife. I see pyramidal orchids flowering around parking lots every year but didn’t expect to find these rare orchids around the corner that I passed for many years. Bath, BANES, England, UK

This was another kind gift from a neighbour. They started out as some tiny seedlings, and finally yesterday one of them popped out into flower. It is just a little flower at about 2cm across, but it just glows in the sun. Very appropriately named as a poached egg flower! Not sure what the botanical name might be.
(Update on ID. Thanks David Nice! Limnanthes douglasii)
A beautifully presented smashed avocado, beetroot hummus and two poached eggs ( with yolks the colour of the flower) all on sourdough toast.
A treat in the sun on a Summer's day after a cycle ride along the promenade at Bexhill on Sea.
The White Helleborine (Cephalanthera damasonium). It was nice to see the colony of White Helleborines is still going strong this year on the University ground despite all digging and cutting with about 18 stalks here and there. I am not sure whether the plants were brough up naturally or were introduced. Still great to see them each year as good old friends. Claverton Campus. Bath, BANES, England, UK
Oudemansiella mucida, commonly known as the Porcelain Mushroom, is a white, slimy fungus strongly tied to rotting beech, where it grows in clusters. It is also sometimes referred to by the common name of Poached Egg Fungus.
Oudemansiella mucida (increasingly being referred to by the synonym Mucidula mucida) appears in autumn on dead trunks and on fallen branches, and occasionally it also grows on dead branches high up in living trees.
The trapping yards in Kathleen Springs were used from 1896 for cattle in the area. These pens were made in 1962 using local timber. The pens were used to trap and rope the cattle in order to brand them within the gorge.
New to me, I've never heard of Poached Egg Daisies. So I found a field of poached eggs, indigenous to Central Australia.

The idea for this came to me yesterday at my friends B&B half way through eating this. HMM!

Served with 'rosettes of ham' on the side, sprinkled with black pepper. I should imagine this dish would also be tasty served on an English Muffin ... or two.
With the aroma of freshly brewed coffee still in the air, this made the perfect breakfast dish.
I thought people in Australia were kidding when they said the way to cook poached eggs is different in the Southern Hemisphere. But I tried it both ways, and apparently they are right.
The state of the art is that you add vinegar to the water, and when it boils you swirl the water round and round with a big spoon and drop an egg into the vortex. Here's the surprise. North of the Equator, if you swirl clockwise, the egg will distend. Swirled counter-clockwise, the egg coalesces into a lovely ovoid shape.
This is the full monty from the Breakfast Club Hoxton. I used to live a 14 minute walk from here when I lived in London. It was not there back in the early 2000s maybe if had been there I would of never of left. It was good breakfast, although the toast was a little to posh for it's own good and a bit rock hard. This was the full monty option, I did not even bother reading the other options on the menu would been a waste of time. Three bits of bacon what a result!
I was in London yesterday giving a talk at Photo Forum. I had a great time talking there and it was a great crowd. If you are London you need to check out Photo Forum because it will for fill all your free monthly photography talk needs.
Been give quite a few talks this year. This latest one was the 4th year. Because I have been doing quite a lot I have put my tips for making presentations into this blog post.
