Dactylorhizas in flower
« on: January 12, 2009, 07:41:11 AM »
Here are a few photos of some Dactylorhizas that have been flowering for me over the past couple of months. I don't know if any of the "macs" are pure maculata or not but mac1 and mac2 have been floating around the area for at least 20 years.

The "mac-ring" appeared as a seedling at a friend's place about five years ago and has lovely ring-shaped markings, while the other two forms have solid markings.

Many years ago I had large clumps of Dactylorhiza elata and foliosa (I even sold some to Paul Christian) but they got sick and gradually disappeared.  I was left with a few D. 'Cruickshank ' which didn't look happy but survived and Dactylorhiza purpurella which is very vigorous and seeds all over the place.  I only have one 'Cruickshank now but it looks happy this year.  Last year a Dactylorhiza flowered in the 'lawn' with spotted leaves.  Purpurella has plain leaves, but 'Cruickshank' which is thought to be a fuchsii hybrid has spotted leaves.  The lawn Dactylorhiza seems intermediate in form and flowering time.

Great to see them growing in the wild in such numbers and also nice to see the variation in the garden :)
Kind regards
