I’m loving these photos by Riitta Ikonen and Annie Collinge for Structured Magazine, depicting the attendees of the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival in Colorado dressed like the unusual fungi of the world! The event is taking place this year from 13th to 17th August.

PLANT OF THE WEEK

Ranunculus Rococo Pink Bicolour

By Walter Blom Plants, this Ranunculus was planted last summer by owner Stephen Page, and is currently thriving! Still in development, It would be fantastic to see these on the shelves soon - but not as ‘posh buttercups’, as I once dubbed them years ago at IPM Essen!
