Orchids (Hardy)
Orchids are much-loved by gardeners, but often thought to be too difficult for most gardeners. In fact, a number of hardy orchids are easily grown by any experienced gardener.
A number of genera, such as Bletilla, Calanthe, and Cremastra, are no more challenging than ferns or trilliums. Even the ladyslipper orchids (Cypripedium) are not too difficult if you choose the right spot and stick to the more forgiving species.
