I got this as Orchis wardii but it does not seem to agree with any pictures of that species on the web.

It is about 12 cms high

could it be a Galearis Tony?

spot on I think- Galearis spathulata ?

Bletilla striata flowering potted on my balcony.

I'm pleased to have this fellow flowering again after two years. 
I have read this can be difficult as it is reportedly semi-saprophytic.
It's also a snail magnet. 

Cremastra appendiculata

A few Ophrys today: aveyronensis, lacaitae and bertolonii.

I agree Tony looks the same just a paler form,nice plant though

No-one seems too bothered about my Cremastra so here's my take on Bletilla striata

Wonderful Bletilla  , Fred!

I like your Cremastra a bit too  (Or is it the other way round) 

Just kidding! I had never heard of Cremastra appendiculata! Is it hardy?

If it lives with me it has to be Wim 

Here's an Ophrys apifera with different markings to what I've posted before.
These always seem to look happy

A lot of your pictures are almost animated Fred . So often there are faces peeping out at us, LOL

[fredg]

Another pink one.
Very awkward to get a decent photo, I'll succeed one day 

Calopogon tuberosus

Calopogon tuberosus

Very nice, not yet in flower over here, I'm still looking for the white form of this one!

Fred

very nice not one I have seen and I am hoping to see it in the wild in a couple of weeks which should be good

Cypripedium reginae are back in my local garden centre. Robust single noses for £35. Just 5 pots there yesterday. Hope to check another GC chain in a few days.

Hi Brian,

you can get them much more cheaply (£18) closer by.
