    2018 Orchid Thread

    So pleased this thread is still going, although l haven't contributed as, sadly, l haven't had a very good orchid year. I got off to a good start in Mallorca, although it was quantity rather than number of species. On a previous visit orchids were in short supply, this time l was falling...

    2017 UK orchids

    I'm so sorry, I thought you were going this Thursday or I would have sent you a PM as I found at least 20 flowering plants spread over two different areas (lots and lots of non-flowering and many with the flower eaten off, just a stem remaining), but today is the first time I've been able to...

    2017 UK orchids

    People who dig up orchids from the wild make me very cross, which is why I have always been a bit secretive about sites. But I am also disappointed this year to find that a burnt orchid site in Derbyshire has been munched by sheep |:(||:(| , I couldn't find a single orchid, or much else apart...

    Orchids Of Crete

    I am planning a trip to Crete next year (March/April) and wondered if anyone would be so good as to give me a rough idea of good areas to visit to find Orchids and when would be the best time. Thank you

    2016 UK Orchids

    There are quite a lot of 'flavescens' scattered around a site in the Peak and I've often seen them described as Chlorantha. For anyone in North Notts the old Bevercotes Pit it site is worth a visit, especially the area around the big lake - thousands of Dactylorhiza hybrids, Southern and...

    Feeling a bit left out here in the Peak with only Early Purples so far :-( - in some dales they (together with hundreds of Cowslips) are just about at their best and looking lovely, in other dales still some way from their peak flowering stage. But everywhere looking magnificent in the...
