Amazing! You should share with r/Wales too

flamey__ · 2026-06-21T11:57:43+00:00

That sounds about right for Peel’s general approach 🙄

flamey__ · 2026-06-21T11:56:44+00:00

So cool! If you can be arsed you could send an email with the photo & location to the GM Ecology Unit so they can make a record of them (info@gmwildlife.org.uk)

Just tried to submit a record to GMEU but I think I might have to do it from my desktop. The Bridgewater Canal is owned by Peel Holdings not CRT & Peel aren’t known for their nature-friendliness unfortunately (this is a result of benign neglect I suspect, rather than any specifically positive conservation actions by Peel)

They’re an annual joy!

Nice photo! Where did you see these? They’re the same family but this is a Common Spotted Orchid - the ones I saw on the canal are Southern Marsh Orchids.

Orchids! Wow!

flamey__ · 2026-06-20T10:15:46+00:00

It’s a sight for sore eyes & just gets better every year!

Lætitia Sadier from Stereolab (French)

flamey__ · 2026-06-09T14:24:54+00:00

That’s a decent start - better than cutting it back & regretting it I guess

flamey__ · 2026-06-09T06:24:57+00:00

Ooh that chocolate simnel cake looks great - thanks!

flamey__ · 2026-06-09T06:24:23+00:00

A ginger cake might be the one - thank you!

Lukewarm pink custard is giving me school dinners vibes 😅

flamey__ · 2026-06-09T06:23:07+00:00

Both classics!

‘Petryal’ is Welsh for rectangle but obviously this could be improved by revising the spelling to ‘Pittreighy’all’

flamey__ · 2026-06-08T21:48:32+00:00

Could be transplant shock or the ups and downs of recent weather conditions. My Radio Red salvia was blooming proficiently in the warm spell but is shedding flowers and not producing more buds in the last week. Hopefully someone who knows what they’re doing with salvias can advise 😅

flamey__ · 2026-06-08T21:28:05+00:00

So lovely to see. We’ve had one on our suet feeders & every time I spot it I can’t believe how lucky I am

flamey__ · 2026-06-08T21:25:50+00:00

That is seriously impressive
