Great info …… Just wish I had a large garden. Thanks again Laura.

Since your are interest in edible root plants, this link might be helpful! http://www.sherckseeds.com/pages/2014/uncommon-but-delicious-perennial-root-vegetables/

You’re welcome Gary! If this is in my garden, I would “destroy”, even it is a fragrant & pretty orchid. I’m always leery of any plant that just shows up and grows so ‘healthy’ all on its own. The E. graminea can spread by pseudobulbs and airborne dust-like seeds. According to sources, a single stalk can have up to 60 flowers. To me, that will be years of a high maintenance garden chore. This is a plant that keeps on giving, also consider your neighbors may not want the volunteers. Check out the FTBG link about this orchid. Best wishes Gary!

Hi Laura, Thank you so much ….. You were dead right

Hi Laura 735. Well done Laura. THANK YOU. You just fixed something that was bugging me a lot. I was hoping to have some edible rhizomes as they smelled really good when I cut one open. Nice to have orchids though. They are kind of captive where they are. Should I leave them or destroy them as suggested in your link

Check out the ground orchid species Eulophia graminea and see if you have a match. Best wishes! http://lee.ifas.ufl.edu/Hort/GardenPubsAZ/Eulophia_Grown_Orchid.pdf
