I the rolling stone don't mind me pinching some lyrics

I'm new to this forum and at the moment I don't own any orchids (well a couple that reside in our bathroom that seem fairly happy some sort of hybrid not sure what they are).  My main interest upto now was photographing the ones at my local reserve but I fancy trying a stab at a few to go with the Auricula's, Cacti/Succulent, Chrysanths, Dahlias and Border Carnations .... I have a soft spot for plants !

If you don't hear much from me it's cos I'm reading all the back posts first so I don't ask the same questions but looking at the ones I've so far read I have to say the restored Victorian greenhouse is superb!  I could really fancy that to go with my other two greenhouses!

I also have an allotment and do wildlife sound recording/photography in my spare time ... when I get some!

Right off to do some reading

Souther Marsh


Common Spotted


This one looks like a natural hybrid


And finally I think this one is a pyramid Orchid - not sure maybe one of you can ID it

Flattery will get you every where

last one taken with my phone I think hence the poor quality.  It was growing in the grass verge round the corner from my office in Warwick which had been churned up
I lied, it was taken with my 30d and a sigma 180mm macro,  I must have taken it into work that day
