                  Is that a coelogyne @pete? Nice! And please can you remind me of the one following? I think I have grown it from seed but it doesn't flower regularly for me.

                    Yes it is coelogyne, I had loads of it and can send you some if you like.
                    One below is Beschorneria, it doesn't do very well with me either, snails love it.

                              My bog garden area I keep going on about , doesn't look much at the minute I keep sticking things in though . I am growing some primula candelabra from seed for this front section and some darmera peltata from seed for the bit on the right.
