I have an opportunity to purchase either/both Bletilla ochracea and Bletilla Yokohamo 'Kate'. I have never grown either. My understanding is that ochracea does well in zones 7-8 and 'Kate' in zones 6-10. Their flowers are completely different and the 'Kate' has a much taller scape. As you have pointed out, oshracea does grow in zone 6. I wonder whether the ochracea does well in zone 9/10 or whether the plants need more cold to go dormant. Questions, questions.

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
