Rein Orchis

From LoveToKnow Garden

Rein Orchis (Habenaria) - Terrestrial Orchids from N. America, 1 to 2 feet high, some of which are pretty. For outdoor culture, a partially-shaded spot should be prepared with about equal parts of leaf-mould or peat and sand, and well mulched with leaves, grass, or other material, to keep it moist. H. blephariglottis bears in July spikes of white flowers beautifully fringed. H. ciliaris has bright orange-yellow flowers with a conspicuous fringe, which appear from July to September. H. fimbriata has a long spike of lilac-purple flowers beautifully fringed. H. psycodes bears spikes 4 to 10 inches long of handsome and fragrant purple flowers. They are charming plants for the bog garden.
