Blimey, Britain's own Giant Panda.

 

Not really sure how "secret" the site is...

Not at all then.

 

it may be the rarest but not the prittiest ,
what about this one same family , but funny enough , has been played out on a roadside verge in Hampshire for the past three summers.

Now the mirror really didn't need to put its exact location in did it

 

I was reading somewhere about orchid smuggling , as recently the last 4 maltice bee orchids have been sold on the black market for £26000 , plus a reward of $46000 to find one of the rarest orchid in the world , apparently growing in europe.

 

It's rather nice. Reminds me of my Dendrobium Kingianium a little (but hardy).

 

Doesn't surprise me, only way to combat something like that is to get hold of material and then propagate it on a vast scale thus making it less interesting to prats that have to have "rare plants" without caring for where it may have come from.

 

you are just right , have you ever seen the pineberry ? Actually is not a new species but a rare strawberry almost exting and reintroduce to the world .

 

Of course they did: that's how scum like that sells newspapers ...

 

Its quite nice, but if I waited 70 years to see what looks like campion with some of its petals knocked off, I'd be tiny bit disappointed

 

Not as disappointed as The Magratheans were though.

 

My garden peas are as rare as that
