All four are absolutely lovely! I especially like the markings on the second and the third one. I wish they grew around here!

thanks angie. If you look around the different terrestrial breeders, you might be able to find some, but i think you also need to have the dough to afford them-i think if you do find some, you are looking at maybe 100 dollars upward a-pop for a flask or flowering plant. But being in new york they should grow fine. New York has sort of the same conditions as New Zealand, except for the snow.

I always want to get one of these thelymitra ixioides, I think they are also called " dotted sun orchids" and a native here in New South Wales. They are protected bush plants and some are considered endangered but occasionally seeds are available for sale.

You do have fantastic terrestrials in NZ . I love the blue ones , a rare colour in orchids.
