Default Habenaria radiata - worth growing?

While dreaming through the spring bulb catalogs I found that Dutch Bulbs
(www.dutchbulbs.com) is offering Egret flowers (Habenaria radiata) at 2
corms for $10.00. They rate this for zones 5-10.

Is anyone growing this in their flower patch? I have a nice stand of pink
and white Bletillas that are nice flowers, not great but nice. I thought
this might be a nice addition to my outdoor orchid collection.

I'm wondering how long the flowers last and how hardy they seem to be for
other growers.

Good growing,
Gene
