Bletilla striata albescens
 

A hardy terrestrial orchid from China, this does well here in Ohio and
even has a fragrance. It is one of three color forms of this orchid
species in my front yard.

Beautiful, I wish that we had orchids growing in our yard. The only orchids
that we have are the one's that I grow in pots, cork, and various wood
*slabs*.

Very nice Tennis, I must pay more attention to when mine bloom. They have
finished now just lots of greenery.
I have never seen a white, mine are the fuschia coloured ones.
What mix do you grow yours in?

No mix, just dirt. Well, I did amend the clay here as usual with a
little this and a little that. But they're just in the ground out in the
front yard. I mulch them a little more for the winter. The cyps,
however, are in mostly sand in a raised bed nearby.
