Now this is a different Dactylorhiza - the petals point forward. Front a distance it looks fluffy

Flowering now in my greenhouse - Pogonia ophioglossoides, bought two years ago from Jim Sutherland (Ardfearn Nursery) at the Aberdeen SRGC Show.  It has 12 flowers this year.

Roma that  P.ophioglossoides is really sweet, how come I miss all the lovely plants...I suppose the difference is you know your plants and what to buy.

Angela, I was just thinking that myself..... I never saw those on Jim and Agnes' stand either... we must have been too busy.... no time for shopping!! That's my excuse, anyway.... Roma will give me a clip in the ear when she sees me next!!

Indeed, at the recent Peterborough International Orchid show, I saw them for sale for £12 for a pot of 3 flowers. You did well there.

Very nice Roma

Davey do you mean is there more than one spike? There were about 6 or a few more. I'll have to offer a swap to get one. They arent in my garden
