After much google image searching, archive delving & cross referencing, I was so happy to finally find an X flower in my archives — Xylobium Colleyi (a member of the orchid family) π
I'm a Royal Navy Veteran from Scotland and love to get out and about with my wife, susantbraithwaite.com, on our Kalkhoff e-bikes. My faithful camera, Snappy, and the ever-present Lensy (lensball) are always along for the ride to capture the beauty of Scotland π΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ. Join me as I share photos from our travels, how Lensy views the world & pretty much anything shiny β¨

Thanks, Gift π
Stunning orchid! I don’t think I’ve ever seen this variety!
Thanks, Ju-Lyn π I was lucky enough for my wife to get it for me a few years back π
And it flowers every year still?
Yes, still going strong π
Great photos Jez. Well done finding your X π
Thanks, Brian π
Okay, Jez, your reward for efforts is that you win “Most original.” So far I think this is the only X that isn’t a strawflower. Good for you.
Thanks, Judy π It was certainly a tough one π
Congratulations on finding X flower . Beautiful flower.
Thank you so much π
And I thought you came by these with your own little camera.
They were my pics; just took a lot of image searches to find that they began with X π
O, that’s what you meant
I apologise
No to need to apologise; I re-read my post & it does read as if I’d found the pics elsewhere π© I’ve tweaked the wording slightly, so thank you π
Tweaking is good
