Hydrogen go BOOM! :v:Anyone remember the film footage of the Hindenburg going up in a blaze? I know, I know, having an exterior skin cloth impregnated with resin and metal filings doesn't help, especially with an electical storm all around, not to mention static electricity, but golly, I think...

Orchid and Snake The Orchid appears to be Arethusa or Dragon's-Mouth, Arethusa bulbosa. Peterson's says it blooms from May-July and is found in "sphagmum bogs, swamps". Would you agree with this ID? I haven't a clue about the snake--a pine snake maybe? The moth is beautiful. I hope everyone...
