Exotic-looking flowers are cream and soft pink
We love how these delicate beauties capture the light and sway in 3-to-7-flower racemes atop naked scapes. You'll marvel at the blooms' stunning lip, which is yellow and flecked with purple. Penway Sunset is easier to grow than other orchid varieties because it grows in the ground and can withstand colder temperatures than its tree-dwelling cousins. Bletilla striata
