If you can't beat them...

Cambria Hybrid Orchid.

Yesterday after checking the Lodge for the guests due to arrive today (who incidentally have had to cancel owing to be intier 4) we had some shopping to do.   At any time I am no fan of wandering round shops so Covid gives me a good excuse for not going in to add to the crows inside.

When Clickychick came out of one shop she said "I have bought you something I said you had enough of".  Intriguing!    When we got home and I had chance to see what it was it turned out to be this rather beautiful Cambria Hybrid Orchid.  Quite unlike any we have already.

I suspect the advances in tissue culture of plants has brought about the expansion of the orchid world.   First of all they brought Phalaenopsis into the affordable and obtainable without using a specialist grower category.   Recently there have been more species and hybrids appearing even in supermarkets.
