Griff,
I am starting to wonder this myself. Have you seen this plant in
bloom? If it was growing in the ground in Virginia, I am sure it is not a
Neomarica or Trimezia. However, the information I posted last night is
good for those with either of those two plants. Bletilla striata: I know
what it is but I know nothing about how to care for it.
