Orchids in the garden

[KyushuCalanthe]

Some orchids in my garden currently in flower; one a North American species, and the other two Japanese natives.

First, the North American Calopogon tuberosus in flower in the bog garden:

Next, the Japanese native terrestrial Phaius flavus:

Finally, another Japanese native (but this time an epiphyte), the appropriately named Bulbophyllum inconspicum. Each flower is at most 3 mm long:

All of these endure the local conditions living outside year round.

Cool!!!

I have to say, since I moved to the basement, the Japanese plants are THRIVING! They're outside now and roots and spikes are crazy!
