Orchids
Here are some photos of a Phaius "Nun's Orchid" just set in the livingroom from the greenhouse. A Calanthe x 'Kozu Spice' and a Bletilla planted in the garden. Oh, I could not resist posting a photo of Nepenthes that DH bought yesterday.

That's one of the reasons I like trading, it gives me insurance against losing something in my own garden. If a plant dies, I can always go get another start, that is, as long as I remember who/where I spread it out to.
