They are interesting to see.
Yes they are. Although not the most elegant of orchids.
Yes, took a look earlier in the week. The population is growing.

It feels so strange seeing an orchid in flower in March, but here it is, a Giant Orchid (Himantoglossum robertianum) in Oxfordshire.

I’m looking forward to seeing the show.

Really interesting, sharing my thoughts on the book production process with @gmotophotos.bsky.social, alongside Michelle Sank and Lottie Davies, commissioned by Peter Dench and Amateur Photography magazine.
Motif - a journal of the visual arts : number 2 : Shenval Press : London : 1959 : front cover : designed by Robert Stewart. Motif magazine was published the by Shenval Press in 13 issues running from 1958 until 1967 and was editied by Ruari McLean. Shenval was run by James Shand (1905 - 1967), a complex figure, who ran the business whilst being happier amongst London's bohemian community - it allowed him to issue alongside Motif three other influential publications on design and typography; Typography (1936 - 39), Alphabet and Image (1946 - 48) and Image (1949 - 52). Issue 2 in February 1959 appeared with these bright and breezy silk screen bindings designed by Robert Stewart. This, the front cover, shows a crescent moon in connection with the sun on the back cover. The crescent moon, in very bold abstract form, has a blue face looking towards the sun (on the back cover) - spiky rays emanate from the leaft, back, side in shades of red, green and blue. The title appears bottom left.
