Oh 'eck, just how many typos are in those entries?
Just to clear up one query, when it comes to things like Royal Botanic Gardens Kew. It is that and not Royal Botanic Garden 'in' Kew. Same goes for any other named gardens

Thought i could help a bit with these.
A21753759 - Lady's Slipper Orchid
<>
Should read - and would dig them up from the wild to plant in their own gardens
A20423242 - Insect mimics
Bee Orchid
Para 3
<>
? This is one that you changed from it’s original text and didn’t complete.
A22180466 - Tresses
<<although recent work by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh
Should read - Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh
A20423242 - The insect mimics "Insect" and "Mimics"
I’m not sure mimics should be capitalised?
A34554224 - Orchis
<> is it "lady orchid" or "Lady Orchid"?
Should be - Lady Orchid and Monkey Orchid
A21753759 - The Lady's-slipper Orchid
<>
Should be - Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew
A33689578 - Helleborines (Epipactis)
<> Should read - hazel coppice
<>
Should be The nectar ‘of’ this orchid
A26916474 Bogs, Fens and Marshes
<>
Should read - which always points upwards

There will be a few typos and errors - there are 12 articles, after all!
I'll sort these out soon - I tend to make changes all at once rather than do a bit every day

Hi Rich
I see that you've made all the changes and sent the project off. I was expecting alot more comments on it in PR, obviously no one knows much about orchids
Thankyou so much for your help and encouragement with the project
It's been a pleasure to have you as a friend and i hope we will keep in touch.

It's 'been' a pleasure? Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I'll have the pleasure of your friendship for a long time to come yet! I've just given in the subs badge, that's all
I'll happily take the , though

No, i know you're not going anywhere....it's me, i'm probably going to quietly bow out once the project has been returned.

I've been here less and less over the past few months. Sad to say i don't really fit in with any particular niche. I would love to have a reason to stay, currently i don't have one. Nothing is set in stone, so all that could change.
