Two down, one to go. I have finally finished the second links plate. It has been a bit traumatic - with Tim and myself squabbling about whether to include bits of rubbish in the picture or not! You will note that he got his way. It is Orkney's 'Bag the Bruck' weekend, where around 500 volunteers help clear rubbish from the beaches, so I guess it's fitting that I should finish such a pristine scene at this time!
Anyway, with time of the essence, I've started on the last links plate. This one will have Grass of Parnassus, Cowslip, Autumn Gentian, Field Gentian and Mouse-ear Hawkweed. I'm giving myself two weeks - we'll see.
The Orkney Book of Wildflowers is scheduled for publication at Christmas 2014. Tim Dean is writing the text, Anne Bignall is painting the habitats and flowers and the Orcadian is responsible for the publishing. The book will be a sister volume to The Orkney Book of Birds and will follow the same unique and successful format. There will be 50 plates depicting ten Orkney habitats and nearly 220 of Orkney's wildflowers.
