Ariadne will need excellent drainage due to its L. lankongense genes. I haven't grown Baruta but it should grow as well as your other orienpets. I have found that other yellow orienpets that I have grown have held their color really well (Manisa, Conca D'Or). How about reporting back with photos later in the season?
I think most of us are tired of winter. We don't get snow here but we also don't get much sun either all winter long. Looking forward to lily season!
