Lucky you , there were masses growing near here until one day ' they ' decided to concrete over the area for an industrail area ,I tried to stop it and asked if they couldn't bulldoze the top layer off and place it somewhere else ,I have read of them doing that in other places , it didn't do any good they still went ahead ,it's so annoying knowing they are all under that concrete . I have some Marsh Orchids in my garden ........

Hi Seaburngirl. Do you know of anyone who supplies young Bee orchid plants? I had one in the garden many years ago but, rather carelessly lost it.

there is a chap called Jeff Hutchins or it might be Hutchinson. he specialises in hardy orchids. google him and he should appear. he isn't cheap mind.
