I still like the book - warts and all - the fact that my copy is almost a set of loose pages is evidence of the level of use and abuse it has had to take However I have to agree with wolf - I do find the book very difficult to use - however this mainly due to its use of keys and botanical terms whic...

Boqq - I simply have no idea - it must be an Ophrys (at least according to the title of the picture) - so unless it is one of those very rare orchids which are listed in our flora but which may as well be growing on the moon because nobody ever seems to see them (and even then, I can reall none look...

I will definitely not be buying Flora Europaea at the cost of a second hand car :!: Yes in orchids the present tendency seems to be towards splitting -it is nice for many people who can incorporate their name (or that of their wife or cat) to a newly published 'species' - in case of plants which are...

I have come across occasional tallish plants with large labellum even at Dingli during this time of the year, and occasional shortish plants with smaller labellum later on in the season According to splitters early flowering plants should be O. mesaritica and should therefore be short and have a sho...

Lunularia cruciata
If the orchids are around, it is time for me to start going out in the countryside looking for plants - my botanical season is generally inaugurated with the appearance of O. collina and O. conica (unless I happen to start a little earlier with O. fusca ) and comes to a close with the disappearance ...

Your short or black clue leads me to the elder (Sambucus) - I have never seen this plant (either one species or the other) and to be honest would not have recognised it. You made me spend quite some time looking up anything finishing with nigra or nana or dwarf or black :evil: :evil: - I need to wor...
