rcn48 - no calanthes....you may be seeing the hardy chinese orchid - bletilla...I have the lavender and white ones growing very well. When we travel, I shop nurseries in the area - usually individually owned. We often go to Greenville SC and I have several favorites there.......Martins, Leichtenfelds, Raymonds in nearby Hendersonville, and just found another gem near Raymonds...Mary's. Often, I will ask "locals" where there is a good nursery....I usually look for someone who has short fingernails with dirt under them ...LOL
I have a couple of great ones in TN - Mary's in McMinnville (whsle and retail) and Gardens to go outside Knoxville on I-40.

YKYAGW....your GPS has more than 25 nursery locations stored.

I also give programs at these plant sales
