Bletia

From LoveToKnow Garden

Bletia - B. hyacintha is a beautiful Chinese Orchid, with ribbed leaves, and slender flower-stems 1 foot or more high, bearing about half a dozen showy flowers of a deep rosy pink. It is hardy, and thrives in sheltered and shaded situations in peat borders in winter. In cold districts it would be well to cover the roots. It is very interesting for the bog garden or a bed of hardy Orchids.
