An update of my most recent attempt to grow a few pterostylis donated from friend David Mellard down in georgia. He grows them famously in his greenhouse, usually in straight potting soil.
Planter with three different species: pterostylis erecta at top, p curta 'mellow spirit' in middle, and p ophioglossa in the foreground
The ophioglossa, not liking my conditions. May have had too much shade near the edge of the window
The curta, much happier and robust. One tall flower spike emerging very quickly, others starting
The erecta, small but a little better than the ophioglossa. Also may have had too much shade
Curta spike
Another curta spike just starting
