Fenland Orchid Society

Hello to all my Orchid fans. Well January and February have gone with all the bad weather, hopefully not to come back till next year. This week being the first week in March I noticed things starting in the garden, like one of the hardy Orchids ( Spiranthes Odorato. Chadds Ford ) which this year has 7 new growths, last year only 2.

Back in January I re-potted some of the Pleiones, but not all. The ones that I didn’t re-pot was P. Formosana, I have 2 pots with lots of bulbs in, all the pots were in the greenhouse with no heat at all up till January re-potting was in the cool orchid house, they stayed there till about February 26th. This was far too hot, for some of them like the P. Formosana have now come into flower very early. Now all have gone back to the unheated greenhouse. Bulbophyllums are not so good, hope they will make good soon. Well all for now have a "blooming good time " I will be back later in the year.

 Your very own, NUT CASE.
