As for Rogans "poly_pubes", I did think that was a nice name for a file

Thanks to you lot, I'll never look at my orchid the same way again!     The file name happened purely by chance - honest, it did!

Sorry about that

I'll shut up now

I found a colony of o.mascula with half a dozen pink ones. Probably quite common, but I'd never seen a pink one before (no white ones though).

Gill i don't think its all that common i know off three large colonies where i live and there isn't a light one amongst them,nice find.

hey,
some more beauties are flowering:

Dactylorhiza Sweetcorn, nice yellow hybrid between majalis alba X sambucina yellow





and some Cypripedium hybrids:

Cypripedium Gisela yellow strain, really yellow this year


Cypripedium Johnny Petersen, very dark this year




my Cypripedium X Ventricosum albiflora (with spots of dirt from rain showers)


many thanks to C. L. for the Sweetcorn
cheers

[goofy]

hey,
this is C. pubescens, opened last days, nice dark form


cheers

Back from a trip 'Up North'.

A few more in flower.
Liparis kumokiri
Ophrys apifera
Platanthera bifolia chlorantha*
Platanthera bifolia chlorantha 1*
Cremastra appendiculata

*On a closer look the pollinia on this plant are too far apart.
P. bifolia pollinia are close together and parallel.
Name altered accordingly to Platanthera chlorantha

Dactylorhiza Sweetcorn  wolf whistle

[Anthony Darby]

You should have seen Cyril Lafong's potful at the Glasgow show the other year.

[Maggi Young]

I think  Cyril had a "little" pot of 'Sweetcorn' in one of the six pan  classes at Aberdeen  last week.....

 yes... here we  go... it was at the back of the set  so lousy photo of it, I'm afraid!

= chopped up sweetcorn!

[Anthony Darby]

Gosh, it's just like Aladin's lamp. Maggi the genie appears with Cyril's orchid.
