I didn’t even realize it was going to flower, and yesterday afternoon I see this big flower spike!

What is your Ophrys mix?

Neat! You can certainly see "the little people" in those flowers. Great forest of Pterostylis too.

I’ll have to poke into it tonight to check, but I had some seedling diatomite that I added to try and keep it neutral or at least not acidic. Unfortunately I dried that pot out a bit so they are suffering now
