Always a nice way to round off a trip, conjuring EL DIABLO.

It does look very pretty on Rathlin. I can't really help with the identification but it has the look of an orchid from the head (I know, not a good feature) though not from the leaves and there are so many it can be hard to identify them.

Lovely pics! That first one has a snapdragon-y look to me. Glad you had such a great time!

I'm so glad to see you had a good time. And I trust the travel was smooth.

Thanks. Travel was smooth, despite forgetting passport which gave me a nasty turn on the bus to Heathrow when I realised I'd forgotten it - and initial people asked at Heathrow didn't know if it would be OK or not, - said try security, who actually didn't bat an eye. I hadn't left enough time for connections if plane was late on way there, so I was lucky. Back I had oodles of time and spent an hour and a half looking around Belfast.
