Just in time for spring: Nun Orchid blooms for months! 🌹
🌷 What a wonderful treat after a long cold winter: Nun Orchid (Phaius tankervillea) is putting on a full show right now in the garden - and it’s been going strong since February.
🌷 These plants were already loaded with buds before our Record 25F Florida Freeze, so I moved the two pots into the garage to protect them. Totally worth it - they came through beautifully and didn’t miss a beat.
🌷 Now they’re in full bloom and should keep going well into April. This is one of those rare orchids that just keeps going.
🌷 Unlike most orchids, Nun Orchid grows in regular soil. Big lush leaves, tall flower spikes, and it’s perfectly happy in filtered light - great for patios, containers, or a shady spot in your garden.
