Nice article in today's @theguardian.com about native wildlife on banknotes www.theguardian.com/business/202... But oh dear @bankofengland.bsky.social, why isn't there a single native plant under consideration? A few suggestions for you below + a £20 note mocked up by @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social!

I am still learning to feel comfortable going out for dinner on my own, but what I can say is that the staff at Amici here in Ashford are very welcoming and attentive (although not *too* attentive - I would hate that!).

Back to work…

I am at the seaside.

Orchids seen on the way to work this morning

Just four of the fourteen orchid species spotted on a tour of Kent yesterday with @dunnjons.bsky.social and @thenewgalaxy.bsky.social of @mariposanature.bsky.social (would recommend!) #WildflowerHour #OrchidChallenge

I nominate Lady’s-slipper Orchid for the £20 note. Spectacular, iconic, flamboyant and coming back from the brink thanks to conservation efforts #notjustaboutanimals @bsbibotany.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social
