ORCHIDS AT PENARTH. 
Ir was our pleasure recently to visit the varied collection of Orchids brought 
together by J. J. Neale, Esq., of Lynwood, Penarth, and which is kept at 
such a high state of perfection by Mr. H. Haddon, his enthusiastic grower. 
The Orchids fill several houses, consisting of one lean-to range, some 
95 feet in length, which is divided into four compartments, a span-roof, 
sixty feet long, with a central and side stages, arranged in three divisions, 
and a lean-to Odontoglossum house, 100 feet long, with a northern aspect. 
Of course, at this season, very little was in flower, but there were many 
plants of interest, some of which we shall mention later on. 
The first house we entered contained a collection of Cypripediums, all 
in the rudiest health, especially several forms of C. bellatulum, which have 
been grown from quite small pieces. Among those in bloom were a six- 
flowered inflorescence of the quaint C. Parishii, a grand example of C. 
Curtisii, C. Rossetti, a hybrid between C. Maudiz and C. insigne Sander- 
ianum, C. Lawrenceanum, and C. barbatum. In another division we ~ 
noticed a batch of C. insigne, including large specimens of Harefield Hall 
var. and Sanderz, while several seedlings in various stages, and a number 
of seed pods, proved that hybridisation was in progress: A few Phalznopsis 
are grown, of which P. amabilis Rimestadiana was in flower, and near by 
was a batch of the chaste Dendrobium Dearei, with its beautiful white 
flowers, and two plants of Cycnoches chlorochilon were in bud. In the 
same house we saw some examples of Scuticaria Hadwenii, suspended near 
a ventilator and where they receive plenty of light. In such a position Mr. 
Haddon informed us they flower freely in their season. 
The next division contained Dendrobiums, such as nobile and its allies, 
thyrsiflorum, and quite a large number of the useful D. Phalznopsis, the 
majority of which were making pseudobulbs much larger than those of 
previous years. 
We now came to the Cattleyas, Lzlias, and their hybrids. C. labiata 
is quite a favourite with Mr. Neale, this species being represented by 
numerous specimens. Some of the plants pointed out were the beautiful 
Cattleya Dusseldorfii Undine, a fine form of C. Portia, C. Hardyana, a 
home-raised hybrid, Brassocattleya Orpheus (C. Triane alba x B, 
glauca), B.-c. Digbyano-gigas, Lzliocattleya Nysa superba, a very
