lovely Amy, mine have grown but still have no flowers.

Beautiful - looks like you've had some rain too.

really lovely Amy...

Oh how beautiful well done Amy......

Lucky you Amy....Mine didnt flower this year...:>)

Wow..beautiful Amy.

Thanks everyone ... I came back last night after spending a week visiting our son and grandchildren in Blackburn , it was a nice surprise for me to see this in flower this morning ....

It has been pouring down with rain Gee my washing was wetter when I brought it in than it was when I put it out .. :o(

Thats odd ,I wonder what has made them all so late or not to flower at all ?

lovely amy ;o))

Thanks San :o))

Thats a beauty Amy, hope you are having a drier day than yesterday, sunny, breezy and quite cold here today;00

Thanks Carole , it's no better today it's been pouring down all day ... :o( I hope it's going to improve tomorrow !

Gorgeous Amy does this smell is it an orchid.

I love this Amy.....a real showstopper for late summer is it a corm or bulb?

It isn't an Orchid 6p , but the scent is wonderful ... It's a corm Janey it isn't hardy so the corms must be lifted before the frosts and then replanted in the spring ... we grow them in pots and then put them in the greenhouse for the winter , it saves a lot of digging up and replanting .. :o)

Absolutely beautiful ... we commonly call them 'Peacock Orchids' here. The botanic name for them here is more likely to be Gladiolus callianthus rather than Acidnathera ... but whatever you call them, they are stunning!

Wow, I love it with the water droplets :o)

They are called Peacock Orchids here as well Bernieh .. .. they do look and smell gorgeous .:o)

Thanks Pip :o)
