Fantastic! My Calopogons will not be in bloom for another 3 weeks. Do you also have Spiranthes, Lady's Tresses orchids in you bog? They are positively easy to grow in a bog and (unlike most orchids) self seed around the garden.

Hi Fred,

These are my first bog orchids that I have grown, and my first bog for that matter. I'll have to look for some Lady's Tresses. They are gorgeous and would look great among the CP's. I followed your directions and created a container bog two months ago, and everything is doing great!
