Ted, the cage is in our backyard here in Fair Lawn. And the "Guy from Japan" is indeed planted into the ground. Zone 6b and all, this one survived several Winters here in the ground. I bought the plant from Asiatica.com that time which is unfortunately no longer around.
Here is the cage with my little grandson, he was here yesterday checking it out. (And yes, the grass has been cut in the meanwhile...
)
or as viewed from the deck
The Calanthe Kozu is growing on the right side in front of the Jap Maple. The Cherry tree to the left is outside of the cage, but the Jap Maple was simply enclosed and it grows very well and provides some shade.
