Rare orchid discovered on the Council’s rooftop

Tiny green-winged orchid was discovered recently by Islington Council workers on the green roof of the Household Reuse and Recycling Centre in Holloway, UK. Very unusual situation because for this orchid to germinate and produce flowers all the right conditions have to be met - and here this rare orchid decided that rooftop of the Council is the best place for it to grow.

This discovery got all orchid specialists and enthusiasts very exited, since this particular orchid specie haven't been seen or spotted in the area for the past 100 years, it take number of years to germinate and was first recorded by Charles Darwin in London area.

This specie went to decline because it require hay meadow habitat that has been lost due to agricultural intensification, yet somehow Nature decided to give it another chance, on Islington's Council rooftop.

Long Live and multiply Anacamptis morio ( it's Latin Name) !!!

Of all the plant groups, orchids are easily the most popular for cultivation and they have a huge following of devout enthusiasts in most countries in the world. Here in Australia they have almost a cult following - we have more than sixty orchids societies that promote and coordinate all aspects of their cultivation.

I have been growing orchids since my early teens and I am still a devoted disciple of this magical group of plants. This blog borne out of a desire to share some of this magic.

Orchids are the most fascinating group of plants and the cultivation of orchids has been described as a disease of the obsession with which one pursue new plants for the collection.
