Orchid, Ground Orchid, Clawed Spathoglottis 'Grapette'

i bought a small pot of this at lowe's last summer and put it in the ground in a fairly protected area. we had a milder than normal wint...Read Moreer and only had four really cold days with frost and dipping below freezing for a short period. during these cold days and nights i threw a fleece blanket over the plant. some of the leaves were wind-bitten this spring so i clipped a few of them.
now we've had an earlier than normal spring and the plant is growing by leaps and bounds with at least a dozen flowering stalks.
i'm very pleased with it. the soil has been improved but is basically a very sandy spot. it gets morning sun from late fall through late spring and bright shade the rest of the year.

still going strong after a few years and slowly spreading.
