Post by: meanie on April 26, 2015, 10:42:46 AM

Someone on Flickr has decided to start following me so when I found out I went to their page to find out their interests - stone me!

Many of the plants will be totally unrealistic in the UK but his photos do provide an incredible insight into the flora and fauna of Ecuador.

Wow was certainly my reaction.

The photos that I embedded here look like the set designers doodles for the 2005 film version of The Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy.

A quote from a reply on another (more exotic themed) forum that I use................

"Awesome.

Thanks for posting it; I think.

You do realise I am now on the hunt for seed of about a hundred things I'd never heard of before?"
