I was thinking maybe an orchid flower.... but I see where Roma gets her idea from......the photo is taken from a clever angle if it's correct.

Well done, Roma and good puzzle, Graham. The angle was a sneaky one!

 I wonder if that choir is singing at the Royal Wedding tomotrrow? Every five minutes on the radio they're speaking about it!

Thanks Gail, Maggi and Anthony.
I always thought they were fascinating but never a choir. I will look at them differently now. They are all singing in harmony.

Here's a puzzling tree. I don't know what the main tree is, but it reminds me of an ash, but it seems to have two hitchhikers - a pohutukawa (puzzling tree 3) which accounts for the aerial roots, but I cannot see where the other tree (puzzling tree 2 & 5) is rooted, except that its stem gets lost in the pohutukawa roots. (The orange berries belong to another tree.)
