It time to start all over again.
The 2010 thread had 158 replies and 19677 views, and the 2012 thread had 362 replies and 30476 views, on that evidence it must be worth doing. In keeping with the previous threads, please be careful with site details.
Why am I starting the thread in early March? The attached photo taken last Monday (05/03/12) on the Dorset coast will explain, why ever would an Early Spider orchid start to flower at this time?
As you can see the first flower was just beginning to open with the lip uppermost, I checked it again this morning and it looked very little different from when the photo was taken. Don't rush down to the coast for some weeks yet, loads of rosettes but nothing else looks to be producing a flowering spike at the moment.
Wishing you all a very good orchid season.
