P. Santorini (Soufriere x coronaria) This cross produces flowers
with a large open lip. Most of the flowers are off-white shaded lavender
or violet. The lip can be the same colour or yellowish with markings of
plum, buff or brown towards the lip.
Pleione, can be grown outdoors in mild winter areas.
Some Pleione are hardy to USDA Zone 7, Sunset Zones 5-9,
14-24, about +5°F for brief periods, and - with snow or
mulch - will probably withstand lower temperatures.
Pleione can also be grown in the average home in a north
or east window and are often called 'Window-sill Orchids'.
Pleione are native to China, Nepal, Tibet, and Taiwan.
They grow in moss on the ground, trees or rocks. P.
formosana and its cultivars and P. limprichtii are the
hardiest and do well in the garden. They need loose,
humusy, well drained soil and a sheltered spot in full
or afternoon shade. In containers, a media of equal
parts of bark, pumice and peat is suitable. |
