Re: OT-Plants: Bletilla and Neomarica

Hi Mark,
About Bletilla:  my mom grows it in Southern California in pots in her patio
and it is very happy and multiplies.  I also grow it here on the Central
Coast of CA and I've noticed that it grows better in sandier soil than in
clay.  It seems to tolerate the frosts okay (goes dormant).  I grow it in a
semi shade spot near the house.  Very pretty.
