Tuberous orchids-anyone growing Eulophia?

Hi Greig,

Having been to Australia twice on botany trips where we were delighted by
all those wonderful ground orchids we saw in the wild I am intrigued that
you are growing them in this hemisphere. I think you mentioned that when
you asked people if anyone had a source for peat, but it never occurred to
me you'd be growing them outside. How do you propagate them and what kind
of care to you give them? How cold does it get in Vancouver, Washington or
is your nursery situated so that you can give them protection?

I'd love to hear more about them. We visited Malcolm Thomas in Australia
and I believe he was growing his in his greenhouse.
