Thanks, all. This is the very first bloom on my Ground Orchid and I'm rather chuffed. I will definitely be getting more of this fabulous plant ... it came through a horrid, horrid Summer with flying colours, so it's definitely on my Favourites List.

Very nice indeed!
I've found an Australian orchid on-line called Thelymitra. It comes in the most stunning blues!

Hi Meanie ... blues huh! Now that does sound brilliant. I'll have to look into it.

Love the colour.

Meanie, I had a look at that site ... and they are just stunning. I then went and searched for a supplier here and they're hard to get ... they're on the endangered list in the wild. Will keep looking.
