Slightly OT Serapias
James Waddick (Fri, 17 Jun 2005 08:17:51 PDT)

Dear Friends;
I just unpotted a Serapias lingua from Fausto Cen and found
about a dozen 'bulbs'- small sausage shaped pseudobulbs with a
pointed end still showing a 'string' of fiber from this year's growth.
Does anyone have experience growing this terrestrial orchid outdoors?

It is Mediterranean and I wonder if I keep it dry will it
grow outdoors?

It has survived in my unheated cold frame over winter.

Help? Jim W.
