Have just been down the lane and seen that my daughter's neighbour has a
lovely L.nitida hedge which is the plain dark green. I'd forgotten all
about it. It must be 12' long and 5' high, I should think.

Nice pic.
Could you get a picture of your neighbours hedge?

I have hedges of Lonicera at work to look after but none are Baggessen gold.

Thanks for taking the pic Sacha mine looks very similar but on a smaller scale
(about 2ft high) perhaps I should prune it harder to discourage the twiggy bits
and get a more compact plant

The hedge I'm thinking of isn't Bagessen's Gold. It's the green one so
you'll be familiar with that.

One patch of ours is twiggy where I think someone got a bit enthusiastic
with the clippers but it will fill in again. We went to a garden, the name
of which I can't remember and there were several of these L. nitida pillars
lining a path. They looked wonderful.

It's from the basal Oligocene or latest Eocene (around 33-34 million years
old) of the Mackenzie Delta in Arctic Canada. I also often find the pollen
of Tilia, Juglans, Carya, Alnus and Betula in the same samples.

What are you doing when you find them, Graham? Are you a fossil collector?
Presumably you then take your collections home and put them under a
microscope. What a fascinating sight.
I had to go and look these two up and saw that the start/finish is thought
to have coincided with the impact of a large extra-terrestrial body.

What are you doing when you find them, Graham? Are you a fossil
collector?

I'm a palaeontologist/geologist specialising in fossilized spores, pollen
and microplankton. I use them to determine the age and environment of
deposition of the rocks and sometimes the level to which the rock has been
heated. Most of my work is for oil companies and the pollen grain came from
a well in the Mackenzie Delta at depth of about 600m.

Presumably you then take your collections home and put them under a
microscope.

After lab processing involving some very nasty acids.

What a fascinating sight.

It can be but, like most of life, most of the material is uninteresting.
I tend to look at the pollen grains in an abstract sort of way but it is
nice to relate them to modern plants when possible.
