I' m new to orchids culture ( I bought my first orchid exactly a year ago) .
I' m growing Bletilla striata, Epipactis gigantea and Ludisia discolor, these have flowered for me.
I also have a small Thunia Veitchiana  and Phaius tankervillae and P. tankervillae alba ( I hope this one will flower this spring)

regards,

I am growing Calopogon tuberosus, Sprianthes cernua Chadds Ford, and
Ophiopogon glossoides outside in my carnivorous plant bed. Inside I'm
growing Epidendrum radicans and Ludisia discolor.  And you're right, many
terrestrial orchids are geophytes!

Last week I found a Spiranthes blooming in my prairie bed.  It's probably
cernua but I'm baffled how & why it's growing *there*. Needless to say I
was over the moon with its lemony-vanilla-y scent.  :-)

I should introduce myself.  I am Glen Ladnier, from Biloxi, MS.  Haven't
been here long, but wanted to communicate with some of the members of this
discussion group.  I grow orchid terrestrials, and was wondering if there
are some among the group who participate in orchid growing.  These plants
vary according to genera, but most have some type of underground tubers,
tuberous rhizomes, tuberous roots, etc.  They are generally pretty easy to
grow, and reproduce, although some have culture which can be a little
tricky.  I am always looking for sources of orchid terrestrials, and should
shortly be able to trade seed or tubers of my somewhat diverse collection.
I would love to discuss culture with the membership, and look forward to
discovering new jewels to add to my collection.
