I don’t see the problem with mentioning Dactylorhiza or ground orchids that dwell in Crete. We are fortunate that many plants which have survived ice ages, including a lot of ground orchids, retain a tolerance for cold that they don’t necessarily require at the moment.
Few of us live in the alpine zone, so alpine gardening tends to be about growing plants that tolerate a range of conditions, both alpine and temperate. The target keeps moving. Good evening, all.
