I have tried Habenaria radiata from T&M and they are tiny (which is normal for the plant). I think you need to be an expert to get them to grow and needless to say I'm not and I didn't. :(

You grow them like a bog plant in peat/perlite.
They're easy.

I agree with FredG, I find them quite easy. Bought them from T&M, no probs. They are in their second season now and growing nicely, much to my surprise.

Just to report.

Last year's plants Pecteilis and Ponerorchis have survived in an unheated greenhouse and are growing

I ordered and received 12 this year of which 11 are growing  ;D

Did anyone order the Ponerorchis graminifolia this year?
One of mine has come up purple leaved  ;D ;D ;D

Hi David,
thanks for the links. I indulged myself in Ponerorchis, they look so delicate and charming, I hope they grow for me (after i get them in 2011).
