A British sponsor for our Chelsea display

Our Chelsea exhibit, generously sponsored this year by Albourne Partners Ltd, will offer images and information about the beautiful and intriguing orchids which grow in the British countryside.

Albourne Partners Ltd is an independent advisory firm ‎headquartered in the UK with expertise across hedge funds, private equity, real assets and real estate.

Over 50 species of orchid are native to Great Britain. They all grow terrestrially (in the ground) and can be admired in Britain’s captivating landscapes without leaving our shores.

Britain’s Man Orchid, Orchis anthropophora, has flowers which seem to have the heads and limbs of tiny people while our Fly Orchid, Ophrys insectifera, resembles its insect pollinators.
