Platan cristata ~ can't find info ~

[decompost]

I've fallen head over heels in love!!!



I took this photo quite recently at a private garden near my home,
and I was told that this terrestrial orchid is native to this area of southeast N.C.
(but I wonder if they only intended to convey that it was hardy here?).

Either way, I wonder how can I obtain it for my garden?

I can find virtually nothing about Platan cristata online
I would truly appreciate any help.

. . . dashing off to learn all about it.
