Tallyho 181 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Right i might be wrong but is this some kind of orchid ??? it was very small and it was the only one there. and secondly what type of fungus is this, it was only on the one tree ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I suspect the fungus is a thing known as " Witches Butter ". Try a Google Images search on that. Flower's familiar, but there's so many look alikes I can't place it and haven't time to search just now. But it's something along the lines of a Violet / Gentian / Speedwell type. Gardener will sort that out, if she passes through. Give ye something to do for ten minutes, checking those leads out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gardener 0 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Hi Tallyho - its a violet, but I can't be sure from the photo which one as Common Dog-violet, Early Dog-violet and Sweet Violet are all in flower at the moment - great to see again after the winter!
