Mark  you still have leaves in the middle of the rosette  that are growing which is what you are seeing.  It could be  Ophrys, Neottina  or Himantoglossum, all have that type of leaf

'in' the inner leaf of the two largest plants is a small flower spike. I'll take photos tomorrow. The temperature on the sand today without any heating on is 16c. Outside temperature just now is 10c.

Thirty years of working at propagating them after reading an article in the AGS Journal on removing the tuber from the mature plant at flowering time to produce a second one.

I like the way it is one tuber per pot. Most of mine didn't make another tuber when I removed the one they had already made

I believe Tony is referring to Tom Norman's article "The cultivation of European tuberous orchids"  in the AGS Bulletin  June 1989 vol 57 no.2  pages 157-171

Yes that is the one. I find there is always a great failure rate because there seems to be a critical moment when it is the optimum time to detach the new tuber and I just go by 'what seems the right time'. Often it is not.
