I had ordered 2 Marsh Helleborines in 1L pots. I received these flowers in 9 cm pots instead. Instead of being refunded, I asked to receive my order. I received 2 9 cm pots!

Description

Although present in all wet and marshy areas of France, and not protected, we consider this orchid to be rare enough that it should be left untouched in its natural habitat. Our production comes exclusively from our nursery, where we divide our plants into clumps.

Creeping and stoloniferous stump. The leafs are lanceolate and wide. The flowers, large for the genus, are green-brown with a white labellum striated with purple. They are carried by loose cluster stalks.

When you receive your orchids, handle them with care: these plants produce few roots and are delicate!
