Re: ground orchid?

Ok- maybe it was
*/Epipactis gigantea
/*/*Pleione formosana
*//*Orchis spectabilis,*/*
**/Habenaria blephariglottis
/*/*Spiranthes cernua odorata

*/*/and I found a nifty website that lists a bunch of terrestrial 
orchids some of which grow in the mid-atlantic states (never knew 
that).  Now to figure out which ones will tolerate our heat and dry 
summer air.

http://www.worldplants.com/orchids.htm

And another-  http://www.thimblefarms.com/98orchidtf.html


So- not sure which one was discussed before- but looks like I have 
homework to do to see what looks good now.  I love the bletilla I have- 
it is now a nice clump coming up.  Can't wait to see the blooms.  I have 
both white and pink.
