Habenaria radiata
 

I have little egrets flying in my house this week:D

I bought 4 tubers, 3 survived and spiked, there will be 10 blooms in all. The plants are sitting on a windowsill in a saucer of water. They are tall and spindly; I wonder if they would be more robust if they had been outside?

Now I'm just hoping for more tubers for next year!

Darn! That picture is upside down, and I can't figure out how to rotate it. Sorry!

can you tell us where you bought them ? I've been trying to locate with no success. Thanks.

beautiful, love this species, love the flowers! Great growing!

Lovely just lovely.

My source was:
Kusamono Gardens

They say out of stock on their website now, but they may keep a list for next season. The tubers are sold in the winter/spring.

I've wanted to grow this since I was a kid. It likes things a little cool.

Habenaria radiata, the egret flower of the Far East

I decided to learn on a warmer-growing one, H. rhodocheila. So far so good, but no bloom spikes, yet.

So very pretty. It must lift your spirits when you look at them

Really pretty!

I'm so excited! Today I unpotted my Habenaria radiata after leaving them to dry during most of October and this month so far. I have NINE little tubers now, better multiplication than I had dared hope for! Now if I can just get them to sprout in the spring. :crossfing

It's gonna be a good year for egrets!
