Tuesday 14th August

SHE 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.
