DRIVER Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 oh dear, they've just been flattened by the runway extension .................. er... wonder if there are any speckled crickets there too ? So that was the crunch i heard when i went to pick up the cute little flower By the way they are actually paying people to look for these rare plants, will they now be made redundant now they have been found, would be a great saving for Daff.

bluemonday Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Orchid discovered after 128 years Should that not be rediscovered? Given that the Orchid was originally 'discovered' long ago, albiet it's now been found in a new location but still in the IOM. This is a particularly rare ocurrence in the Isle of Man As are accurate headlines and good grammar from Newstwot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
