Britain's rarest orchid stolen from golf course
By James Burleigh
22 July 2004
A rare orchid, one of only two growing wild in Britain, has been
stolen from the grounds of a Lancashire golf club, English Nature said
yesterday.


This kind of activity makes me sick. My greenhouse was once burgled (while
I was home in bed sleeping) and all my blues were stolen (Lc. Blue Boy
'Gainesborough', blue vandas, etc.). It must have been an orchid grower,
but one who wasn't bright enough to have recognized my blue L. purpurata
'werkhauseri', since the label didn't say 'Blue' anywhere and so left me my
favorite plant at least.
