Bletilla striata x formosana 'Sweet Lips', Hardy Ground Orchid early bloomer They are uprightRacemes of pale to fuschia blush orchid like flowers emerge in spring to reveal a burst of color on the lower lip with mesmerizing stripes and mottling. Flowers are somewhat more relaxed on their stalks compared to the more upright forms of B. striata. Leaves are decidious and strap like.
