My butterfly garden and some orchids

Very nice!!!!!! Love your Hoya and Bulbophyllum!!! The first pics are nice too. Gorgeous Monarchs too!! How old are the pics? Just wondering because I want to know if the Monarchs have started their journey north yet.

The Bletilla sure is nice. I don't know if mine survived the very cold weather we had here this year. What usually happens is that they put out buds or start to bloom and along comes a cold front and bye, bye Bletillas.

They aren't Bletillas, those are Spathoglottis plicata. Spathoglottis plicata is also a terrestrial orchid.

Bletilla striata can be grown in a pot very easily. If you grow them in a pot, you can avoid the frost damage by bringing them in when it freezes. They can handle it down to 36 F very easily.

I just repotted one of my Bletilla striata clumps, and it is huge! Lots of multiple shoots this coming growing season.
