I reckon the photographers are merely different subspecies of Snapsis pictum :)

Well done, Melvyn, exactly right - forum member John, photographing a Cyclamen persicum in a very unexpected and almost certainly accidental site on Monte Smith, during the MGS trip to Rhodes a few years ago. The photo below shows him in the same place, again on the wrong end of the camera, during a local TV news interview about the trip, talking about his then new Kew book on The Flowers of Crete.
So who is number 2?

No. 2 must be JTh. If the picture he has posted is anything to go by he must spend a lot of his time lying on the ground with a camera in his hand...

I protest, I am not a he!
Oron is a more likely guess, but I don't think that's his camera

I apologize, Jorun. The tiny photo is not very clear.

No.2 Oron? Sounds similar to Jorun.

Well done, Alice (and Jorun - I think he's changed his camera, or at least the strap!). It is Oron, shown here on that same trip, in Rhodes Town.

John's strap has been changed as well, and Oron has had another camera the last times I have seen him. No wonder you thought my name was a male one, Alice, it's  an Old Norse one and about 99 % of all non-Norwegians make the same mistake.
