Nice plant list pepper23 and Cordeledawg. Let me ask either or both of you what luck you've had with the lobelia cardinalis (cardinal flower)? All mine disappeared after one year.

Equil, are you trying to get me in more trouble with "that bog idea"? I had been thinking of it, and did some research, but decided in the end the area was too small and the tree roots too extensive. I have an area near a bird bath where I made a small depression so I could keep a fragrant "nodding tresses ladies' tresses (Spiranthes cernua odorata) moist. Any ideas of what to plant with the orchid besides the blueberry?
