Jim Fowler's photos with the keyword: Grass Pink

When I went out into the front yard this morning, I knew that I had to photograph these before it started raining. These are quite easy to grow in a bog garden environment. They grow from tiny corms or bulb-like structures. Its flowers vary from almost pure white to deep magenta. I have some of the white variety, but for some reason, they bloom a few weeks later than these. This orchid is known as a non-resupinate orchid, which means that the lip is found in the upper position rather than the lower position on the flower. BTW that is a red-bodied pitcher plant in the background ( Sarracenia flava var. rubricorpa ).

Finally, the darker ones are beginning to open, so I took pictures of the three shades that are currently blooming and combined them. There is still the pure white ones left to bloom -- probably in a couple of weeks.
