Here's another pretty NOID!

But this is was told, she's a Ground Orchid.
One I can plant in the ground. She's in a pot right now, in dirt the way it looks.
I just bought it a couple of days ago, with no tags.

Any ideas on her Name??
And/Or how to care for her?

Hey Jacky, those are beautiful. I got some a few weeks ago in Homestead and planted them in the front of the house. They get direct sun from morning till 1pm. I just water them at least once a week and I also fertilize on sundays so they get hit also. I think they're great for landscaping. Yours look great. I bet you'll get more LOL

Hey Swamper, do they spread? If so, how much, how long??

And they can't take full sun in the afternoon?
Only full in the mornings?
So should I find a place for them in the part sun/shade?

They have been in the ground to short a period for me to know if they sprad but I dobt they sprad too much cause I was told to plant them about a foot apart only.

They can take full sun I just don't get that much sun where I planted them. That's what the front of my house offers and that's where I needed something.

I will look for a pic of them planted and show you in a few if you want.
