THE CODVENGERS TRYING TO GET THE COD FATHER HEAD BACK

JIMMY: I think we are missing something

LIZZIE: teamwork?

JOEL: cohesion?

PIX: a general sense of what we are doing?

White turtlehead (Chelone glabra), also known as balmony, codhead, and snakehead, is a tall, rangy perennial native to wet habitats throughout Appalachia. Despite its widespread distribution and familiarity, I’m always amused whenever I come across the plant’s tubular, doubled-lipped flowers; they’re vaguely reminiscent of baby turtles, with the upper and lower lips forming the carapace and plastron, respectively, and the middle lobe of the lower lip forming the turtle’s head. The pink-tinged flowers bloom, bottom to top, from a spike-like raceme at the end of the main stem. Flowers appear persistently from mid summer through the first frost of autumn. The plant’s lustrous green leaves are richly-textured, sharply-toothed, and arranged in opposite pairs on the stem. White turtlehead attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and is the host plant for the larvae of the Baltimore checkerspot butterfly (Euphydryas phaeton). The photos above were taken along the Middle Valley Trail in the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge.

Day 8 of #MarchMeetTheMaker is #where. I was born and bred in Cleethorpes on the Lincolnshire Coast and now live in Grimsby after stints in Hull and York. Grimsby is a port town attached to Cleethorpes and is famous for fish. In Grimsby we are known as 'codheads'. There's good reason for this as you will not get better fish and chips anywhere in the world! A few famous people from my hometown include Patricia Hodge (Mirandas Mum), John Hurt (Elephant Man), Kevin Clifton (Strictly), Rod Temperton (writer of Michael Jackson's Thriller), Ella Henderson (XFactor), Steve Currie (TRex bassist) #Grimsby #hometown #seaside #fishandchips #codhead
