Hope all goes well, Ken.

On the Bletilla, they didn't work well for me, but I hope you have better luck. I tried them out a few years ago, and something got to them before they managed to bloom. I potted up about 5 bulbs in potting soil with perlite and some bark incorporated for air.

The foliage came up, held on for a couple of months and by then it was killer hot and humid. They faded away never to be seen again. Shrug!

My perception was that they needed cooler temperatures.
