If you can sow flasks, you might want to purchase seed from
http://www.b-and-t-world-seeds.com in France.

But, you might try Bletilla striata as it is a fairly hardy orchid and
may grow better in your climate.

Hi Ford! what part of the south are you in? im just south of London.
anyway back to your topic.... have you tried equatorial plants (if they
still exist?) i had an old list and i can remember seeing it on there,
however they are seedlings, but normally they have a stand at the
London Orchid show selling larger plants of their stock. Or
rareplants.co.uk i know they have alot of hardy orchids including a
good variety of Cypripedium species and hybrids, but not sure if they
have Ophrys.

hope this is of some help!
