Chinese ground orchid
Chinese ground orchid is the perfect name for this little beauty, which actually is a true orchid. Its lavender pink flowers resemble that of its larger, showier cousin, the cattleya.
It grows best in partial shade with moderately moist soil. Where summers are cool, it can take full sun. In ideal conditions, it spreads gradually, forming a large clump over time.
