They were outdoors all winter in a spot that has overhead protection. Kept dry like this they easily handled the regular minus 5 or 6°c that the garden saw.

Lost ours many moons ago.......well done on keeping them going....

Amy - you don't have any? I'm disappointed in you!
Siris - the pseudobulbs are monocarpic so any growth will be at the base of last years pseudobulbs.
DD - I've lost so many over the years. Virtually all my stock last winter (2015/16).

Oh that's a shame....

Think I will have a dig where mine should be.

Siris - it shouldn't be necessary to dig as they should be on the surface.

Actually Meanie, I am confused, my orchid is a Bletilla.

That makes sense Siris! Mine has yet to emerge as well.

Thank you Meanie, now I can sleep better, until the Bletilla emerges. I will enjoy the wonderful colour on your Pleione till then.
