Svante Malmgren says on his website that 90% are white and 10%pink.

From the information Maren obtained it would appear that Svante Malmgren doesn't have D. okellyi either.

I am reminded of that old music hall song.... "Has anybody here seen (O') kelly(i) "  ;)



Kelly and his sweetheart wore a very pleasant smile,
And sent upon a holiday they went from Mona's Isle,
They landed safe in London but alas it's sad to say,
For Kelly lost his little girl up Piccadilly way.
She searched for him in vain and then of course began to fret,
And this is the appeal she made to everyone she met:

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K-E-double-L-Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Find him if you can!
He's as bad as old Antonio,
Left me on my own-ee-o,
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Kelly from the Isle of Man!

When it started raining she exclaimed, "What shall I do?"
For Kelly had her ticket and her spending money too,
She wandered over London like a hound upon the scent,
At last she found herself outside the Houses of Parliament.
She got among the suffragettes who chained her to the grille,
And soon they heard her shouting in a voice both loud and shrill:

Has anybody here seen Kelly?
K-E-double-L-Y.
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Find him if you can!
He's as bad as old Antonio,
Left me on my own-ee-o,
Has anybody here seen Kelly?
Kelly from the Isle of Man!

For you orchidaceous types here is Paphiopedilum niveum flowering at a friend's today.  I was quite taken by its modesty.

I pulled one of my sick Dacts out of its pot. The roots have died.

Here's a self sown seedling that has flowered for the first time this year among some Agapanthus

Two good looking forms!

I was at a wedding yesterday, yawn, and called in to Susan Tindals nursery just up the road. She had D. elata, not in my book, for sale but it looked very like what I have as Alex Duguid. I think my Alex Duguid is Dactylorhiza purpurella.

Does anyone know the orchid Alex Duguid and have a photo?
