Crotchety biddy. I'm getting a little tired of the bugs bonking shots. And people's eyes.

Stuff I've learned because of flickr:

- That wild orchid is a Philippine ground orchid.
- Those athletic ground lizards are called brown anoles.
- The common doves in Hawaii are zebra doves.
- Plumeria is a misspelling of plumiera.
- Pinecones were once called pineapples.
- That cactus tree thing isn't a cactus.
- Cactus is from Greek, not Latin, so cacti is wrong.
- I know what a white-rumped shama, a chestnut mannikin and a Hawaiian coot look like.
- Dragonfruit comes from night-blooming cereus.
- Those plants with the pink rose-looking thingies have the unfortunate name of stickbush.

Thanks to both real-life and flickr friends for your kind comments on my amateur snaps.
