I just love these things, so easy compared to growing a Paph that it feels like cheating.

I never met a terrestrial orchid that wasn't at least a little fickle.

Epipactis helleborine?

Epipactis helleborine?

Hard to grow unless you got the right soil. Some terrestrials are almost easy, and importantly, persistent, with Bletilla striata being the most famous.

They are weedy here. Thought they would be weedy in Japan too?

Wonderful display!! That is a lot of blooms compared to others I've seen, great growing! I have one pushing up a spike just now, but its still a bit of a runt.

Funny, I seem to only barely manage to keep this bulb alive. I don't know why, but I struggle with B striata

This is actually a very low flower count for this clone (it's just a baby offset that was given to me by a judge in DC). I've seen it 3 feet tall with twice this many, at least.

Not around here. Probably too warm for it. Epipactis seem to fall in one of two groups, highly fungi dependent species and ones that can live without them. E. helleborine is a fungi dependent one, so if there aren't the right host trees and associated fungi, it will not grow.

In Manitoba, I can believe it. That said, given the right conditions - warm, sunny location in a warm temperate climate - it is almost impossible to fail with this species. Most other terrestrials, if you talk bad about them, they die.

That's pretty damn amazing. I must have been feeding mine the wrong stuff!
