Serapias

From LoveToKnow Garden

Serapias - Terrestrial Orchids from S. Europe, worthy of a place among hardy Orchids, as the flowers are singular and in some kinds beautiful, as S. cordigera, with large showy flowers, chiefly of a blood-red color; S. Lingua, with peculiar brownish-purple flowers; and S. longipetala, with large rosy-red flowers. These are all 9 to 12 inches high, and their flowers are densely arranged on broad erect stems. The plants succeed best in a soil composed of two parts of peat, one of loam, and one of sand and leafmould. The position should be partially shaded and well sheltered.
