Dactylorhiza fuchsii

My #foliagefriday common spotted orchid is coming up nicely in my garden.

Wow!

Are you or did you watch Gardeners World tonight?

@sieveheadsarah i haven't watched it but I have got it recorded. Ive gone down with a chest infection so been going to bed early as I'm knackered. Im planning on having a gardening tv morning with gardeners World and beachgrove garden. Was McBean's good?

Thanks @gjones its one of our native orchids but this one i brought and planted as I wanted them in my garden.

Hope you feel better soon Lydia! McBeans was amazing, the size of their Orchids and the amount they have was incredible, I may have to watch it again!

Thank you @sieveheadsarah Sarah me to its not been fun and I had to.go for a covid test and wait for results before I could go back to the drs. Im looking forward to seeing it. I just wish there website was better /had more on it and wasn't so expensive.

Oh no Lydia, hopefully you’ll be better soon and not have to return to the docs. Ooh I need to have a look at the website 👍🏼😀

@sieveheadsarah i belive its called sods law. have a look at burnham nursery and elite orchids as well. And for hardy orchids try laneside hardy orchids.

Beautiful shot, there's something about native orchids i adore

They are rather stunning @solly1961 this one is one I brought from laneside hardy orchids and planted in between the cracks in the pavings.

Love this, very beautiful.😊

Dont think it will be long till it flowers just hope the cold weather next week wont affect it. #nativeorchid

Just starting to come up and hard to see. I'm absurdly pleased. I'm having a sort out in the garden as I cant do anywhere as I need to social isolate as much as possible. I'm glad I can still go to work as I can isolate there having the studio to my sell. If I couldn't I wouldn't see any one which I'm not sure could cope with for 12 weeks.

Close up from my garden #nativeorchid #orchid #hardyorchid

Very beautiful 😍

Thank you @riya12 and @gjones I'm really hoping it will do well and spread.

So it's not growing wild as I brought it from laneside nursery at Malvern orchid show. But it is a native one that will hopefully do well in my garden #nativeorchid #orchid . @jlsardina @Christos

They’re so lovely Lydia. Hope it does well for you.

Love it 😍

Me too @valjones-hughes I'm really hoping it might spread a bit as well. Glad you love @jyotu
