Bletilla striata

[streetmorrisart]

I got to see and photograph my mom’s Bletilla striata while in Michigan and paint it once “home”. It’s a hardy Asian terrestrial species I’d like to grow myself someday when we have a house. It reminds me a lot of Pleione, in the lip mostly. I hope you enjoy the image and will consider looking for a source (she got a division from a friend)—it’s far more extraordinary in person:
