Hi all. Still in the throes of winter here; after 70 degrees last weekend,
we had our second 16 degree night since then last night. Looks like the
bletilla are fried for this year...and probably the camellia's and tulip
magnolia.
Anyway, enough whining. Went to the local flower and garden show yesterday,
and came home with a couple of plants that were quite possible a mistake,
but I couldn't resist. Anyone have any experience growing Galearis
spectabilis (showy orchis) or Goodyere pubescens (rattlesnake orchid)? I've
been successful with the bletilla, and thought I might be ready to branch
out to some other hardy orchids, but may have overextended. Any advice
appreciated!

plants confused!)
