Hoddy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I think the first one is called a pyramid orchd and I agree with Coops the second is a bee orchid.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris pp Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Early purple finished some time ago, so I presume that was when you saw them?Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osie Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 yep, he's still there but brown and a bit shrivelled up.... he pops up every year.Any ideas if it is easy to get them to seed... can it be done manually like with a marrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukhostland Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Nice Bee Orchid.I spotted a similar but different species visiting clients in the Dordogne a week or two ago.....they'll be on my blog soon, I have no doubt.There are a few wild orchid photos from here in central France on the blog already, if you are interested:http://gardendesigncompany.wordpress.com/Colin the Gardener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
