Bletilla striata "Pink"

[Morja]

Sold at my local nursery this spring in the cold-hardy bulb section as "Chinese Ground Orchid." Tinier than I expected at only 5 or 6 inches tall! Glad I caught the bloom as they are planted at our house which we don't get to often (it's rented out while we travel). Happy it bloomed despite the less than ideal half-clay conditions of my Montana dirt.
I have some potted outside our camper too, but they've had a rough life and I think they may not bloom this year.
Fresh after heavy rain:

These bloom in May in Kentucky where mine are. Pretty late blooming in July, maybe too cold in Montana to reach their full height of more than 2 feet.

We've had a long, cold spring with some snow in June this year! I'm surprised they've bloomed at all! Technically I took these pictures the last day or so of June.
I'm glad they have the potential to be bigger! Poor stunted things haha

Mine didn't come back this year. Squirrels? Thanks for sharing.
