Dactylorhiza 2013

[K Andrzejewski]

My Dactylorhiza season already started, honestly I don't know which species & hybrids they truly are - i think this first plant is praetermissa and the second one something like D.foliosa, any idea ??

D. sambucina were my first to flower in the green house and in pots outside

I'm think of repotting my Dactylorhiza collection in to plastic pots. Do you use plastic or terracotta

Two in flower now are D. sp. ex China and D. umbrosa. I cant remember where I bought the Chinese Dactylohiza. It has tiny spots on the leaves

One photographed today at Keith Wiley's Wildside Nursery and Garden here in Devon. Many more to come too, planted in a meadow.

Coincidence, David-  Ian  is with Keith Wiley in  Gothenburg this weekend, speaking at the same conference.   Small world, ain't it? 

[David Nicholson]

Ain't it? Mrs Wiley was holding the fort and making a good job of it too. Just re-sizing some pics of our visit for posting.

oops the photo of D. umbrosa isn't but I don't know what it is. This is D. umbrosa

Did anyone buy Dactylorhiza foliosa x saccifera off Ebay? They are as big as leeks!

Obviously different. My three are all the same. Kristof bought some also.

They are quite big but flowers are not open jet ( and I don't have time to see What's going one with my plants)

A little Dactylorhiza hybrid bought earlier this year from Beeches Nursery in Essex. The proprietor told me that they had given up trying to keep stock pure and were now marketing all their Dacs as Beeches Hybrids.

Kevin is doing what I do which is to pot up spotty babies

I don't understand - there is a separate topic about "Eskimo Nell" so why you are adding pictures here??
