Bonjour Charles : How are you today ? Yesterday was our disaster day. Hopefully, this day will be more pleasant.
***************** I just sent the following to the OGD : "A rare orchid, Cephalanthera rubra (Rød Skogsfrue), has been rediscovered in Aust-Agder. It had not been seen for 56 years... In 1951 it was discovered near the Gjerstad Lake in Aust-Agder by two botanists, but had not been sighted again since then. It is on the Norwegian list of endangered plants... The Directorate for Nature Conservation has allocated NOK 1.8 million for the protection of the orchid until the year 2010."
