Neil

what are you spraying with,I have tried a selection with no result?


I am using http://www.syngenta-crop.co.uk/products/switch/summary.aspx got it from a local farmer already mixed.  Not sure were you would get it from, probably a Horticulture supplier.


Ok that does not work 5 more species have succumbed to it

My purpurellas are Cadbury purple / RHS colours chart 79C. The nectary opening stands out as being white and the lips spots are redder than the purple. My camera doesnt do Cadbury purple.

No, sorry, I don't , Neil. Only this one, taken on a camera phone, I think.
The daughter of an SRGC member found them growing in the grounds of her workplace and thought that they were orchids but wasn't sure. Sent me the pic to see what it might be. They're flowering right now, but I'm not sure where!

Maggi.

If she can get here to speak to whoever is charge of grounds maintenance and ask them if they can avoid cutting the grass where the orchid/s are.  So that they can set seed probably another 8 weeks.  If it is only a few a bamboo stick in the ground next to the orchid will mark it so that it does not cut chopped off.

That's exactly what I'm telling her, Neil. Hope we can get some protection for these wee gems.
