The plants aren't exactly cheap, but they were far easier to get settled than I had expected and, as I mentioned, there were maybe 5 little shoots of new plants appearing at the end of last summer so I may have doubled the number within 3 years.<br /><br />Mine were growing in bark mulch which they seemed to really like, though the wild ones nestled amongst the mosses always look so much more appealing if you can manage it.Kristina Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13729935054138234287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346132294625499034.post-12543074860322461422009-05-08T12:45:00.000+01:002009-05-08T12:45:00.000+01:00Thank you for a truly wonderful and inspiring post...Thank you for a truly wonderful and inspiring post, Katrina. Now you've got me wanting to taste the ice cream! I have a dim memory of reading about saloop in early times. I have a common spotted orchid growing happily at the Sanctuary -maybe I should branch out and grow my own orchis mascula!Sarah Headhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975928642943693605noreply@blogger.com
