Strelitzia reginae

Pleione limprichtiiA small orchid from Sichuan in SW China, where it grows at 2000-3000 metres. It’s accustomed to severe winters and will grow outside in our corner of Sweden, but is fussy. I haven’t yet found a spot it likes so I keep a few inside in reserve. |

Dactylorhiza hybridCloned and sold for cultivationLooks very similar to D. maculata (heath spotted orchid, common spotted orchid etc; Swedish: skogsnycklar) |
|
CypripediumCloned and sold for cultivationThe petals and sepals aren’t the deeper purple of C. calceolus (native to most of Europe). This is possibly a selection or a hybrid. Lady’s slipper; Swedish: guckosko. |
|
Venus slipper hybrid.Cloned and sold for cultivation.Looks like Cypripedium kentuckiense (native to Kentucky and neighbouring states in the USA), possibly hybrid with C. macranthum from Russia. |
