Orchid - 13th February 2006

A comment someone made yesterday inspired me to add a little section below the photo of the day in order to place anything that I wanted to write about or around the particular picture displayed.
Feel free to ignore and just look at the pics, generally they'll just speak for themselves.

First orchid of the year. At least the first one I saw (in Aptera). I wasn't looking for them so others may have come out earlier. Pretty early or did I just not notice them other years?
Checked in my wonderful Flowers of Crete book and it seems to be an Aceras anthropophorum or Man Orchid. Then again, I might have it wrong. If you know better please send me a mail.

Ah, and something else...I have finally got it together to display some of the daily photos on a more permanent basis. Go and have a look at the Photos of the month (the link is below) if you have nothing better to do.. It's also a very pleasant way to procrastinate when you have better things to do but don't feel like doing them.
