I grew Butterfly Orchids, also known as Poor Man's Orchid this year. Schizanthus pinnatus is the official name. I really love them! They are peeking out here and there in the garden. They come in a variety of pinks and whites and some are very reddish. I ordered more to winter sow for next year!

Take the space out of the link to see some more deeply colored ones!

I have got to grow some of those! I've been thinking about it after seeing stereo's, but yours seal the deal
