I've just discovered Drop-box so I'm hoping this will work.



I would like to know what this flower is called as I've got enough in my
garden that I ought to know the name.

Also while walking in the near the sea, in extensive dunes I discovered
this, didn't think to include leaves though. It is about 6" tall and 1"
diameter.

That one's an orchid. That much is beyond doubt. Can be tricky things to identify exactly, and inclined to form hybrids, but I think that one's a pyramidal orchid Anacamptis pyramidalis.

Yes, pyramidal. The other one with very plain pink flowers is fragrant orchid, but it's a cooler pink and with a more elongated spike.

The blue flower is very familiar but I can't remember the name!

I love phacelia tanacetifolia. let it seed around. much too nice to be
just a green manure.

And there was me thinking I'd got an unusual exotic plant and it's little
more than pretty compost!
