BLETIA (Bletilla) 
The Rare Chinese Garden Orchid 
From China comes this fascinating and exotic gem among flowers. 
A true orchid, yet perfectly at home in the soil of our California gar¬ 
dens. Not all Orchids require the moss and peat usually associated 
with their culture, a few naturally grow in the soil and the Chinese 
Garden Orchid is one of the most charming among them. Planted in 
good loamy soil they quickly establish themselves and soon make large 
clumps, blooming freely in spring and early summer. They do well in 
sun or partial shade, and make very attractive pot plants. 
The orchid shaped flowers are an exquisite mauve-violet in color 
and are lovely in corsages, small vases or table decorations.
