Bletilla 'Big Bob'
Bletilla 'Big Bob'
Price: $15.00 In Stock

4" Pot
This Zone 6 hardy orchid is a pretty serious Bletilla and it would have to be with a moniker like 'Big Bob'. It was a dream of mine to have a nickname like that but we'll delve into my psyche and childhood in another description. A fine selection with tall flower stems in ideal situations reaching 3' in height and bearing up to 15-20 pinkish unquestionably I'm-an-orchid flowers. A very vigorous selection which will go a long ways towards cementing your reputation as a gardener unafraid and somehow always managing to one-up everyone else in your gardening circle. These are chunky plants which you will find quite pleasing.

Nice plants of this less common hardy Chinese Ground Orchid. Creamy yellow flowers undeniably an Orchid with a darker yellow "mouth" makes this a sought-after addition to the collection. You can admit it - you're a collector. There's worse things. I've done some of them, most of which made tremendous sense at the time. Plants have been the one constant so yes, by all means, collect! Mulch in cold winters and good drainage in a light moisture retentive soils if best.

Chinese Ground Orchid. Hardy Orchid that does great outside here. My mom had a big patch on the west side of her house on the Hood Canal which had over 50 flower stems. Deep lavender-pink perfect orchid flowers. Easy. Mom's gardening doctrine was that of Benign Neglect so you should do fine. A friend of ours does well with these in Iowa with mulch so they are adaptable. They can take full sun here but we have wimpy sun so elsewhere part sun to even bright shade will be great.
Bletilla striata 'Rosea'
Bletilla striata "Rosea"
Price: $10.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
This is a slightly lighter pink selection than the typical form. We received this as 'Rosea' years ago and have since seen several different selections under this name so are using this rather informally. All we can say is that this rosea by any other name, would look as sweet. Hey! If you are going to paraphrase and borrow, then borrow from the best! Vigorous clumper with soft pink orchid flowers on 16" stems. Best in half to full sun.
Bletilla striata 'Albostriata'
Bletilla striata 'Albostriata'
Price: $12.00 In Stock

Quart Pot
Hardy Chinese Ground Orchid. This is one of the easiest terrestrial orchids (orchids planted in the ground) to grow and is also pretty darned hardy. This form has white edged leaves with strong stems of pink perfect orchid flowers. This is essentially a bulb and will increase each year to make a nice clump. Good to Zone 6 and a good mulch in those colder areas is not a bad idea. These appreciate a moist soil that still drains well.

This is an overachieving Type A taking care of No. 1 first let me tell you some more about myself hardy Orchid but while we find these qualities wearisome in people, we are all over it when it comes to Orchids! Gotta love the attitude of a 40" flowering stem holding as many as 35 pale pink flowers, Nothing like a nice shot of mongrel hybrid vigor for excelling in the garden! Good drainage with moisture.
