Calopogon tuberosus (Grass Pink) is a delicate, sweetly fragrant orchid boasting graceful, willowy stems bearing several long-lasting flowers, 2 in. across (5 cm), opening in sequence in spring and summer. The ravishing blossoms are rose-pink to pale orchid with gold and white beards at their tip. They give way to fat green pods packed with thousands of small seeds maturing in late summer. The leaves, originating from a corm, are narrow, grass-like, up to 12 in. long (30 cm), and appear with the flowers. This showy bog orchid slowly multiplies to form a charming colony. Perfect for a wet sunny meadow or a bog garden with acidic soil.
