in the garden now and just truly making a show. For me they will be blooming
in
about 2 weeks. I have the species and a white blooming. mine are both planted
in
dry, open shade. Use a chopped leaf mulch each fall and that is about it for
care.
Mine are with ferns, pulmonaria, Foam flower. The foliage is among the most
graceful of all orchids... just a like a Chinese brush painting done in one
masterful stroke of the brush. >>
Gene,
I am hoping that after four years that my one remaining bletilla orchid will
bloom again this year.
