The hardy lady slipper orchids are extremely hard to move. They must have a special fungi to grow, it's a symbiotic relationship they have.
Cala is absolutely right. I received some beautiful ones from someone else in TN, but without the perfect conditions, including that fungi, they were doomed. The plants might survive for a few years before disappearing, but almost no chance of blooms. Better to leave them undisturbed. Maybe some Bletilla would give you that thrill of growing hardy orchids in your garden? Pleione are another possibility, but better as windowsill orchids.
