ARDY Orchids have made a good display for the last few weeks. On 
the rock-work at Wisley.a prominent feature has been the profusion 
of hybrid Orchis latifolio-maculata, a group of which is figured at page 113. 
It is thoroughly at home on the moist banks and dells, and scattered 
seedlings are flowering all over the place. O. maculata exists in hundreds. ~ 
in the most diverse situations, its spikes of lilac flowers being very effective 
among the grass and other plants with which it grows. We saw one 
example of O. maculata alba. Near the top of the rock-work was a bed of 
the handsome Orchis folioso-maculata, its recurved spotted leaves and 
bright purple flowers being very effective, while at either corner was a plant 
of the green-leaved O. foliosa. We also saw a single plant of the North 
American Cypripedium parviflorum, and a good clump of the native 
Epipactis palustris, the latter not yet open. In such a locality several 
other native species should flourish, and it would be an ideal situation in 
which to raise seedlings if an attempt were made to prove the parentage of 
a few of the British natural hybrids. There are also spots in which the 
native Orchis incarnata ought to succeed. 
- On the rock-work at Kew there has been a profusion of Orchis foliosa 
and O. latifolio-maculata, there being many seedlings of the latter, showing 
HARDY ORCHIDS. Gg
