Handed's plant: Chinese Ground Orchid (Bletilla striata)

Really easy, slowly builds to a clump. Beautiful bright pink stands out in the garden, there is also a white variety. Grows well under some shelter from a deciduous shrub/ tree in zone 8a, however late frosts if badly timed will hit the new shoots, leaving the tops of the leaves brown and ugly, and if more severe may also destroy the flower buds.
