THERE WILL BE NO MIRACLES HERE

 Aficionados of modern art will know that this piece is in Edinburgh, rather than Fife


Yesterday I had to take my car for a service, and so was in the Lothians rather than the county-line restrictions I've been recently adhering to. As if I ever leave the county! Pfft. However, I was aware that a plant of very limited distribution in Scotland was near the garage at the Museum of Modern Art.


Ironically, I must have walked under these plants unknowingly hundreds of times. Maybe the lack of miracles is a failure to look up!

Mistletoe

As Oscar Wilde famously said, "We are all in the gutter, but there are probably some decent tardigrades and aquatic hyphomycetes if we look close enough"

  1. I didn't know Oscar Wilde was into his hyphomycetes! ;)

    1. Mad for it. Not as much as Beatrix Potter, though.
