Wales Expedition

1845...



Pepeluali 1845
Found this unique specimen at Middleton Hall's garden.
Sir Edward Abadam hales from West Indies.  
His name was Adams, now Abadam.
Difficult to locate his collection in Carmarthenshire.
He was reluctant to disclose his relationship with Hilare and Morren.
What are they concealing?
I will investigate.  Yours in confidence, L.
Diolch yn fawr
Nos da

As of this correspondence, Her majesty Queen Kailani is unaware of who Morren is or his involvement in the Orchidaceae conspiracy. 
L is keeping her discoveries of these players 'close to the vest'.


2012...
Tillandsia bromeliad epiphyte


No Rhynchostele cordata in bloom to photograph...
so I thought this looked similar in a spiky sort of way!
Mahalo to Dede at inkiwell.blogspot.com for contributing the brown craft paper (seen in PostCard above) from an envelope that I received this week.  Most of the papers used to embellish are handmade with plant fibers (for 'loverly' texture). 
Please 'creative ones' surf on over to Darcy's art-and-sole.blogspot.com for more 
FABulous  adventures
