Awesome..........I am not familiar with hardy orchichs........which species of Calanthe is it and was it it in bloom when the Trillium enthusiasts from Germany toured your garden?....and how are your arms?

yes, they are awesome. it is calanthe discolor. it was just starting to bloom when i had the garden visitors, but i dont think they saw it. i have others blooming now too.

i have bilateral carpal tunnel AND tennis elbow. i think ive pulled too many weeds and moved too many boulders!
