This is one of our native ground covers and I have to tell you the bees and butterflies love it! I like it too! I've moved some of the seedlings to other spots so it will fill in the bare areas.

I got this beauty from RF Orchids, probably three or four years ago and it has bloomed consistently every since. It seems there has been a name change since I bought it. Since RF has adopted the new name for the plants they are presently selling. I'll assume mine A. garayi as well. It gets water daily (it's in the shower) and strong filtered light. I only fertilize my orchids once in a blue moon. This is one of my favorite orchids you can see why!!!!
