Quite the neighborhood occasion when in "bloom". All the neighbors gather round the plants along with the swarms of flies attracted to their (the plants) putrid odor. Most get morning sun, and oldest (10 years) is as tall as I, 5'6". Noel +More ----- Original Message ----- From: Franck R.

Thanks for the observations about orchids, for the moment they are not the plant I envisage but perhaps later. I want to give to my garden a touch of exoticism, so I start to implant different species to do it. Thanks for your remarks Franck Sheldon Hatheway a ?crit : Hello, Franck, Here in Canby, OR, USA, in a similar zone as yours, we successfully grow Dracunculus vulgaris and Arum italicum (in addition to the ones you mentioned) in the ground all year. They do just fine with a little winter mulch if it gets below 20F. Both of these are available from most of the larger mail-order nurseries. A Google search will give you more leads than you could ever look at in a normal lifetime. We also grow a number of hardy orchids outside: Bletilla, Pleione, Calanthe, Dactylorhiza, Roscoea, Spiranthes, etc. Some of these do well in full sun, and some appreciate a little light shade during the hot summer afternoons.
