Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: They grow in full sun in poor, damp soil. These were in a sandstone area called Rte. 322.
Comments: Parent plant: This is the orchid known as "slender ladies' tresses". They can get up to two feet tall, but are usually shorter. The seed capsules are tiny! It is one of the most graceful orchids I have seen.
