orchids in flower

Just another orchid picture to share. Eria hyacynthoides, which bloomed for me rather unexpectedly on some arching sprays. The flowers are actually moderately small, maybe 1.5 cm, but there were a number on each spray, and 4 sprays. Considering it flowered within a month of me getting it, I don't think I get to take any credit, but I did enjoy the flowers. :)

tooney!

I am one of those people who tends to pick up loose change they find on the sidewalk. Normally pennies, occasionally nickles and dimes, rarely a quarter.

Today, I found a tooney. What is a $2CDN coin doing in the bike path of a US city street? Are the Canadians invading and no one told me?
