Gardening Unplugged - Hardy Orchids with Doug Ruhren

Not all orchids are delicate tropical creatures destined to reside upon misted moss towers and cork bark. Some orchids are perfectly at home in the cold forests of Canada, and others are amazingly drought tolerant and easy to grow here in the South. Learn about the hardy terrestrial orchids: Cypripedium, Bletilla, Callanthe, and Cremastra in this informative tour lead by our Senior Horticultural Garden Supervisor - Doug Ruhren.
