SAID:
Geoff
& I had morning tea with David & Barbara Jones today. David
is one of the top orchid experts in Australia, with several books
published & orchids named after him. He was very helpful with
local information & even complimented me on my photos.
We
checked out a couple of National Parks after leaving the Jones' house, &
found a couple of orchids in flower, despite the very dry conditions.

HE SAID:
It was good to put a face to the name; Dr David Jones' name often crops up when orchids get a mention, so meeting him and Barbara, and enjoying our chat and morning tea with them, tied up a loose end for me.
