I currently have three distinct Dactylorhiza species in a border at the front of the house however this Summer I discovered growing in amongst the others, a new plant which I can only assume is a hybrid. The flowers are lighter in colour being much more pink and less purple than the others plus it is more multi-stemmed and the flower spikes are shorter. So perhaps I should give it a name, register it, make my fortune selling it and retire to the Bahamas. After the heat of this Summer here in Scotland I am not sure I would like to live anywhere where the temperature is regularly above 25 celsius. So, probably staying put!
