most interested in your orchids. I am a perennial/orchid collector. I have a bulb you might be interested in. a drimiopsis maculata false African hosta grows from a bulb(partially exposed) has a stalk of white flowers and darker green spotted leaves. chk Plants Delight website for more info on growing can be grown as a houseplant too. looking for any color bletilla.

I could send you seeds, list attached, or a few canna lily bulbs. Or could pay postage. PLMK.

Miss Marcia...last year I planted 3 'grapettes' and one other form of ground orchid out front directly in the ground under a clump of palms, although they were getting too much sun in that spot. Granted, the ground is very poor there and mostly sand, but they hung on...not quite dying, but looking bad...really bad...and definitely refused to bloom again despite being fed on a regular basis. Here's the 'Grapette' and the other early on last year: They declined after a few months and never did much but sit there and take up room...LOL Last month I dug them all out and potted them up in a large wide container with humus and a really enriched soil...also threw in a handful of Osmocote for good measure. I placed the pot under our live oak tree so it was in partial sun only and they get hosed down every other morning when I 'hit' all my other orchids. They are thriving now and I'm just thrilled! Apparently, they're fussier than normal orchids...LOL They're lovely when in bloom and judging from the way mine look, won't be long. Good luck!

Hi Have some further ?? Can anyone tell for sure the cutting is actually Epidendrum radicans?? Like all orchids there are dozens of kinds within the family and the major difference seems to be flower color?? They range from white to purple to bicolors but the yellow orange is runaway the most common and by far the hardiest IME. So can anyone actually identify the cuttings without flowers?? Often see the different colors in the box stores but I can't tell the difference when out of flower?? I have not found any situation where the yellow orange will not grow the big difference is the amount of flowers and the duration of flowering. The best IME is in a trough with a a mixture of peat, perlite and tree fern in full blazing sun. Another is growing on compressed tree fern through the roof of the shadehouse where I mix them with Catts and and terete Vandas. .In both situations I get alot more flowers but a lot less growth as opposed to full shade where the growth is far superior. I do find that when grown as an epiphyte they will not support themselves like the various Vandas. So require constant relocating the offsets. So anybody know the trick to the ID of the family?? Thanks gary
