Thank you all I'm thrilled with this and wasn't at all sure it would survive this is the second flower to shoot up this year , I can tell you Stera , we have a friend who has a lake these Marsh Orchids grow in abundance around it ,I commented to this person on how lucky he was ,he said you're welcome to dig one up if you like I said I didn't think it would survive but he said you're welcome to try, so I did dig one up with plenty of soil and transplanted it in my garden in a shady spot I'm amazed at how well its grown .. lucky me :o)
