Aw shucks. Just when I was happy with my lot, Derek produces these luscious plants that I don't have. :o No I'm not jealous, I have plenty on the go, I don't need to branch out. :-\ Just think of three weeks in Croatia. Two weeks and two days 'till the school holidays. ;D

I DO like Disa! The flower spike of 'New Design' is good and full, isn't it?  Super range of colours you have, Derek......all lovely

As an aside..... house extension and foreign holidays, Anthony ?? I am in the wrong business, obviously!! ;D

Dactylorhiza Inkspot at Oxen Pond Botanic Garden, St John's Newfoundland yesterday and bed of 500 at a local nursery, planted the day before. Inkspot appeared spontaeously in a local park and is now released under Plants Atlantic.

Quite a stunner. Said to be D. praetermissa v. julialis, thoughts?

A great clump there John. Will you be able to photograph it when it flowers?

Leslie - I will be back over there for a day in two or three weeks. Hopefully I'll catch them in bloom.
