photos of hardy Calanthes in-the-ground in US?

I planted a Calanthe sieboldii in the ground back in 2009 in a bright-shaded area under Japanese maples and amidst Epimediums and martagon lilies. It never really did much....never flowered but has...

I wish I had some recommendations but I do not like the pink flowered ones (don't like pink much at all), so focus on the yellow-flowered species and hybrids. Lycaste consobrina and L. cruenta both...

The previous season's pseudobulb will shrivel to nothing while 'feeding' the new growths so that's not something to worry about. The growth cycle isn't like Lycaste or most other sympodial orchids. I...

And a brand new Pleione I received this year from an ebay seller in Oregon back in January: P. Vesuvius (no grex name). We'll see if this differs from the other P. Vesuvius plants I've got (named).
