Sorbus maderensis is a seriously endangered Madeiran endemic, is it not? Habitat loss if the problem, I assume. I don't think I've ever seen one.

It was the host of an interesting parasite.

Fantastic pics everyone. Just viewed this topic for the first time. Some crackers of plants. Of special mention..... the wonderful carnivorous plants shown part way through.... beautiful. Anthony, that parasitic plant is quite striking isn't it? And Michael, as well as a belated "Happy Birthday" from me, my compliments on those fantastic orchids. The Stanhopeas and Gongoras are just glorious aren't they? A fav of mine, although very rare for me to flower my S. tigrina (syn S. negroviolacea I think) as I don't have a glasshouse. It survives remarkably well though, considering. Some wonderful other orchids you showed too, including that beautiful Dracula, and a fascinating green with dark throat that I don't recognise at all.Thanks to all for their wonderful pictures.

One of our best native shrubs, Viburnum cassinoides. Blue berries and eventually red autumn foliage, just as you ordered Lesley.johnw
