Blippers orchid party

A grand day chez nous with Blippers Sheilwill, Willllwynbedw and JanePetleyJones with Mrs.K. and RPJ, not forgetting lovely labrador Pepper.

The prime meeting for the get together was to view Mrs. K's pride and joy (no, not me) pictured above.

This is Cypripedium x Ulla Silkins. Did well this year with 36 blooms but just beginning to go over.

After lunch we went for a walk along Arnside beach and found ourselves in the middle of 350 people setting off to do the Cross Bay walk. See extra.
