2o6 ORCHIDS FOR EVERYONE 



Orchis latifolia. — The Marsh Orchis attains a height of 

 one and a half feet under favourable conditions, and produces its 

 spikes of purple flowers in early Summer. It needs abundance of 

 moisture, and consequently grows best in a peaty bog, or where 

 there is a good depth of leaf mould. In other respects it needs 

 similar treatment to O. foliosa. 



O. MACULATA is One of the prettiest of our native Orchids, 

 and thrives in fairly heavy garden soil. It varies in colour, but is 

 usually lilac or pink, with deeper spots. The variety O. m. superba 

 is exceptionally fine.
