The cooler weathers speeds up the growth of the southern / mediterranean species
Lots of fresh seedlings this year.

Marcel, I'm counting about 250 tubers. Great!

Super, Marcel. Leichte Düngergaben sind jetzt schon für das Wachstum förderlich.

[marcel van den Berg]

Thank you Eveline and Jan!

@Jan,
I have mixed some osmocote through the substrate, so the plants get their fertilizer 

A small update, most of the plant are growing nicely.



The Serapias cordigera:


Some of the Ophrys tenthredinifera seedlings have variegated leaves.

They really are looking great, Marcel!
Too bad our little job didn't work out....

[marcel van den Berg]

Thank you Wölfchen,

Yes, it was disappointing that the tubers never arrived ... 

The plants in the lower right corner in the top photo are some of the Orchis pauciflora seedlings.
And as for the Orchis provincialis, I suspect they are Orchis italica instead.

h. carinum winterblätter im freiland in schwarzerde.

die vergleichsmünze ist ein euro.

übrigens, meine schwarzerde kommt von einem gemüseacker,
nicht von einem orchideenstandort.

[Alwin]

Hi nach jahrelanger vernachlässigung weiss ich nicht ob das schild noch gilt ophrys scolopax kann das hinkommen?

[walter b.]

Auf mich wirkt das Pflänzchen eher wie aus der Verwandtschaft Anacamptis/Anteriorchis.
