Dear terrestrial orchid friend,
here
I would like to present you my new list 2014.
As every year, some new species again, like some
easy Greenhoods (Pterostylis)
from Australia.
Especially exiting,. I can
offer beautiful Dactylorhiza maculata
varieties. Dactylorhiza maculata
is quite different from Dactylorhiza fuchsi with smaller leaves and different flower
structures. Dactylorhiza maculata
ssp. elodes favours a more
acidic soil and copes also well with weakly fertilized garden soils.
In the eighties, I could obtain some seeds of Dactylorhiza Eskimo Nell, resulting in just one seedling
plant. This Eskimo Nell offspring flowered with large, white and scented
flowers. Unfortunately, this orchid was hardly fertile. Some 30 years and
several generations later, the offspring (Dactylorhiza
maculata alba) produces fertile seeds. The
flowers are like the originate mother plant large and white, but are not
scented.
Wishing you a great orchid year. Sincerely yours
Heinrich Beyrle
