Platanthera ciliaris

[fredg]

My large Platanthera got through the winter but inflorescences are smaller this year.
Ah well..roll on next year

[Maggi Young]

Wow, Fred, what a cracker that is.... great colour. What size is it?

[Tony Willis]

Fred  it is certainly lovely. Perhaps it came from one of the more northerly sites originally and is hardier than the more southern ones

[Neil]

I'm in love    please may I have some seed from it

What size is it?

Standing at 2ft 6" (77cms) this year Maggi.
The white Platanthera blephariglottis is the same but the buds are not opening yet.

I'm in love     please may I have some seed from it

I hope I can get some this year Neil, my little brush will have to get busy.


I'm afraid the plants have had to take a back seat this year while we sorted the house.
I'm already looking to next year.

My goodness, bigger than I thought... it must be magnificent "in the flesh"

Thanks Fred could you also do the Platanthera blephariglottis

Fred we had a choice this year redo our bedroom or do the garden.  The garden won and at long last I have a greenhouse for y orchids.

[Torsten Junker]

Wow, that is stunning!

Do you have any pictures showing the site it's growing in?
What conditions do you have it growing in there?
Do you give it any particular treatment/protection overwinter?

As Neil requested, if you have any seed that you could spare of both Platanthera ciliaris and Platanthera blephariglottis, then I would love to have some to please.
