There's tons of em there being nibbled by the Bugsy population who are directly responsible for creating the right award conditions for then to grow in the first place.

Then again, I've not tried orchids in a cheesy pasta bake.

However, to be clear, Wordless Wednesday was never my original idea. <br /><br />If I were to hazard a guess, without knowing any better, I'd say you have a very healthy onion.

Not to discourage the possibility, heaven forbid, that they are the leaves of somekind of orchid, perhaps the offer of a long weekend at Tense Towers may induce a positive answer to your question.laligaloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00784829822361138485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802716903254015310.post-45559896313338867152010-11-12T10:52:02.037+00:002010-11-12T10:52:02.037+00:00I have to admit I am also clueless.

However the wonderful online encyclopedia of dubious accuracy states that Bee Orchids develop rosettes of leaves in the autumn for a flower the following year. See also http://botany.cz/en/ophrys-apifera/ for a photo of the leaves themselves.
