creating an outdoor orchid garden

[disalover]

I finally decided to take over a little spot in my grandmothers garden

I am making a lovely orchid garden in my second home, I have finished cleaning up the space pulling out weads and the most ground covering plants on earth, i left a few that will be kept under control, this time.

Lovely Rubarbs, Agapanthus, trees, Albucas, succulents, Zantedeschia and even more! The rest i only know the 'Afrikaanse boere' names.
I have quite a few orchids able to adapt to ZA temperatures.
So far the orchids are,

• Bletilla striata ( normal and alba )
• Arundina graminifolia
• Eulophia petersii
• Eulophia guineensis
• Phaius Joan Hart 'Goldie'
• Epidendrum fulgens

And a nother easy to grow, not to expensive terrestrial orchid, please help me with a name and some culture.

All photos tomorrow!

I also looked at Sobralia, I love them but they are quite pricy

Spiranthes, Calopogon, Pogonia, Platanthera, Ophrys, Orchis, and Dactylorhiza are a few genera to check out.

Almost done

how humid is the area? if it's wet enough for Zantedeschia it may be humid enough for you to grow Cattleyas mounted on that palm thing (some kind of yucca?) but mounted orchids are pretty high-maintenance so it depends how much time you've got on your hands and how often you're prepared to water. Also, not an orchid but Strelitzias should do well there!

Looks like a great spot. Any updates?
