I'm still waiting on the yellow and white.<BR/><BR/>A friend of mine has a huge bed of the magenta Ch. ground orchids. It's like they've gone wild in her yard. She's lucky! Someday, I hope to have a clump as large as hers.<BR/><BR/>I try to share divisions of mine with friends who'll appreciate how amazing they are.<BR/><BR/>Can you grow them outdoors? Will yours stay in pots or will they eventually go in the ground? It's pretty exciting to me to be able to grow something so exotic looking outside in the yard. I feel the same way about Queen's tears (Billbergia nutans).Angela Pratthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343591073737590979noreply@blogger.com
