As the other thread has gone way off topic and disappeared into a dark place I will continue here if that is alright!

I guess I did not make myself clear, the minus 17c was outside not in the greenhouse! However at that time I was using paraffin heaters which simply could not cope with the cold and so the...

This is the first flower of several on the inflorescence. As they open over the next few weeks it will reach about ten inches tall with four to six flowers. The stem seems to elongate during this...

First flower opened now on another of my favourite Ophrys, (I say that about all of them don't I?)
This is Ophrys tenthredinifera. Strictly speaking the name means Sawfly bearing, but it is also...

Glad to see your donkey ears are drooping like mine! Most pictures show them more upright.

Forgive me for butting in, but I have a photo handy of a dormant Pterostylis which will answer your question. For me the plants go dormant in May or June and most of them are colony formers. This...

I skewered a tuber once when trying to stake a plant for transporting, never again! Now they just take their chances if I am showing them.

Far taller than any of mine, but does it need the stake or is it just a precaution? I really don't like having to stake my plants.

Your wish is my command.:)
This has never been a plant to grow very tall, nor to have many flowers, but it does double every year, so perhaps it chooses to put its energy there rather than...

I think that feelings are really varied.

Ophrys fusca or lupercalis.

This Ophrys opened recently. Depending on your take on things there may be as few as 19 species of these or over 300.
So for the lumpers out there this is Ophrys fusca, the dull or sombre Ophrys....

Pterostylis curta, coccinea and fischii grow like weeds for me. I give loads away or my greenhouse would be full of them!

I think that they would like it in a terrarium, shady, humid, but cool. The biggest problem would be finding the tubers if you ever had to strip it down. They are about the size of half a grain of...

It is nothing to worry about. I believe that the plant has finished with the leaves by then and all the goodness is being sucked out of them as happens with deciduous trees in the autumn.

It all depends on the compost. Because they are left totally dry whilst the plant is dormant some are not suitable for reuse. I use about 25% loam (soil) which turns to dust when totally dried out...

I assume that you did not repot this plant last year? There must have been two tubers. They are not clumpers as such, if by that you mean multiple growths on one plant, but can produce two tubers...
