Thank you for the kind words. The large bog is only 14 Months old, the pond two years. Im sure they both will develope nicely n the future though I most likely will be in space problems soon. The goal in the large bog is to have the sphagnum moss to cover it all as it will insulate better around the rhizomes and the black birds dont seem to dig into it, only bare ground.

It looks to me like they will very quickly forms large clumps. They will be spectacular if you can acheive this,  :o :o. I think the sphagnum will spread quickly if conditions are good. I hope you can acheive a wonderful large stand of these incredible plants. :)

Well, if I had the space I would make the bog 3-4 times larger to include all the plants I have in pots, but that would be in the next house where I imagin to have much more space :)

Here are a few others that grows well in the bog:

Calla palustris, growing tooo well.


I have 3 species that seems to do well of Dactylorhizas in there. Will sow some seeds and hopefully have more to plant out soon.
