My word, I wouldn't have guessed from your photos at the end of the year  - http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=13912.msg369042#msg369042    - that they would come so quickly to flower

It is amazing what a bit of heat will do, not that we are due any of that in the next few days.
 Pass the blow torch!

this afternoon, outside minus 6°c but under glass when sun was shinning 16°C, enough to trigger the first blossoms.

My friend, Stella Tracey, has sent me some Orchid pictures and has agreed that I post them on the Forum. The four (SM1-SM4) are of Orchids in Stella's meadow.

That bicolour orchid is a very strange Early Purple.  I have seen a few all whites, but never one with a bit of both.
