Still sure that it is spring, Tony?

Well it was for a few days,at least the pond thawed this morning for an hour or so and it is only snowing lightly.

Those two have been huddling together frost free.

Very nice Tony, I'm jealous of a heated house and the quality of your orchids.  Just back from Portugal, here are my wild pictures, have a hundred pictures but don't want to crash the site.

Kevin 

not heated just frost free, min 2c, so they are slow.

Yours in the wild are superb and I am off to Crete in two weeks and expect to see a lot in their natural surroundings there.

Looks  like a very successful photographic trip to Portugal, Kevin - I particularly like that furry little chap in the last shot in "reply 18"  -  ophrys sp1.JPG

Just noticed the first casualty in my green house. The leaf bases of my ?Dactylorhiza romana have rotted and came away very easily. I'm blaming the warm weather we had for three weeks and the sudden cold snap. Its been OK all winter and just about to flower

What know? Knock it out for a look?

This is how it looked last week. To my eye it doesn't look like a Dactylorhiza

Just noticed the water in the tip. Maybe its been dripped on and a didn't notice. There are flower buds behind the purple bracts/leaves

I got this as Ophrys X syracusana (lunulata X speculum), but can't find any support for this - is anyone expert enough to confirm or deny? Not me....any opinions welcome.
