The Butterfly House at Wisley.
A late winter, early spring visit to RHS Wisley Gardens near Ripley in Surrey. As well as the gardens, the tropical greenhouse was transformed into a Butterfly House for the winter.
Papilio memnon, the great Mormon, is a large butterfly native to southern Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. It is widely distributed and has thirteen subspecies. The female is polymorphic and with mimetic forms.
Its range includes north-eastern India (including Sikkim, Assam and Nagaland), Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nicobar Islands, Andaman Islands (stragglers only), western, southern and eastern China (including Hainan), Taiwan, southern Japan including Ryukyu Islands, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Malaysia and Indonesia (Sumatra, Mentawai Islands, Nias, Batu, Simeulue, Bangka, Java, Kalimantan and the Lesser Sunda Islands).
Drosera cistiflora is a widespread highly variable and polymorphic species of sundew from the western Cape region of South Africa. there is tremendous variation in flower size and color as well as stem and leaf morphology. For this region, there are current research efforts to identify and reclassify this 'species' into multiple classifications. The late afternoon light provided a spectacular setting for these images.

During the early 1980s, a lively exchange developed between the Rhineland artist collective Paul Pozzozza Museum (PPM) from Düsseldorf and the Frankfurt-based musician and artist Alfred 23 Harth (A23H). Among the active members of PPM was Marcel Hardung, who, together with other protagonists of the group, came into contact with Harth after one of his experimental concerts at the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle. This meeting marked the beginning of an ongoing artistic relationship that reached beyond regional borders and media distinctions.
At the time, Harth was running the waschSalon gallery in Frankfurt, a self‑organized space dedicated to presenting avant‑garde art and performance. The gallery quickly became a platform where artists from different backgrounds—visual, musical, and conceptual—could meet. Several times, Harth invited and exhibited the artists of the PPM circle at the waschSalon, thereby bringing Düsseldorf tendencies into dialogue with Frankfurt’s own experimental currents. In addition, he purchased several works from the artists who exhibited at waschSalon. Although many of these works cannot be traced today, this act of collecting reveals the degree of engagement and commitment Harth maintained toward emerging artists and their practices.
The visual communication of the waschSalon exhibitions was itself a product of this networked creativity. Invitation cards, posters, and similar material were printed at Zypresse, a local press in Frankfurt that had become part of the gallery’s infrastructure. The contact with Zypresse originated through one of Harth’s saxophone students, who was not only a musician but also a graphic designer. This student designed the logo and typography for waschSalon, thereby shaping its graphic identity and bridging Harth’s dual worlds of music pedagogy and visual experimentation.
Taken together, these interconnections illustrate how artistic initiatives in Düsseldorf and Frankfurt of the period operated in a transdisciplinary spirit. PPM’s conceptual play with the notion of the “museum,” Hardung’s contributions within this group, Harth’s polymorphic practice as musician, visual artist, and gallerist, and the involvement of printers, students, and designers—all were woven into a shared fabric. The outcome was not only the staging of exhibitions and concerts but also the creation of ephemeral networks and friendships, whose traces are now scattered across stories, printed matter, and a few surviving works of art.
"A very polymorphic species, varying in size, habit, pubescence, petal length, stamen number, and seed size and surface detail...both autogamous and occasionally cross-pollinated by flies." (Flora of North America). Edge of garden bed, Milton, MA 6/16/13

Yup...another for Natalina, who must be amassing a fair amount of data from this site!

The main aim of this group is to record Merodon equestris sightings to build a picture of its colour form variation in the UK.
Merodon equestris is a polymorphic hoverfly known to have at least 34 different colour forms.
The data gathered from this group will be used in an MSc thesis aiming to shed light on where Merodon equestris is most frequently seen, its emergence times, and geographical spread of colour forms across different areas and habitats in the UK.
I would be very grateful if photos of any sightings of Merodon equestris in the UK could be posted on this group. Please include a photo, date, location, details of habitat type (urban park, garden, meadow, woodland ect.) and grid reference. If you are unsure of what your grid reference is then here is a link to a helpful web site called grid reference finder, where you can find your grid reference www.gridreferencefinder.com/.
This group is open to anyone, whether novice or expert. Here is a link to Steven Falk's photo album of Merodon equestris on Flickr to give you an idea of what this species looks like www.flickr.com/…/63075200@N…/sets/72157629553247540/.
All the records posted on this group will be passed on to the Hoverfly Recording Scheme.
Please join this group, add friends and share it with anyone who records or has an interest in hoverflies!
Thank you!

This is one of Passion flower species - Passiflora foetida which has an edible fruit about the size of a thumb, yellowish-orange when ripe and tastes very sweet. The local name is "Letup" - an explosives. This is because when the ripe fruit is crushed it will burst with a "Pop" sound.
This plant is also a polymorphic where is the flower colour can range from white, lilac and purple.
