Real World Gardener Dockrillia Orchids in Plant of the Week

DOCKRILLIAS EP 4 <p>I’m sad to say this is the final in the series about native orchids.  If by now your interest in growing native orchids hasn’t been piqued, I would be very surprised.  Like most avid gardeners, as soon as someone in the know starts spouting information about a particular plant that has fabulous attributes, you will want one.  So it is with dockrillias.?</p> <a href='https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WSjAk6lOvfc/X50JQPwYVrI/AAAAAAAAjZ0/PUcw0AGUCpADDdt2xB72jbZdY91jAWv3ACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Dockrillia_wassellii.jpg'></a> <p> Let’s find out more.  I’m talking with Adrian O’Malley, horticulturist and orchidophile  Adrian mentioned a primary hybrid between dockrillia schoenina x dockrillia teretifolia.</p> <p>The most commonly available dockrillias are:</p> Dockrillia teretifolia,  Dockrillia fairfaxii,  Dockrillia linguiformis,  Dockrillia cucumerina, Dockrillia striolata,  Dockrillia. pugioniformis, which are all cool-growing orchids.  Dockrillia rigida and Dockrillia calamiformis, grow in tropical Australia, but do well in intermediate conditions, that is somewhere between tropical and cool.  If you have any questions about native orchids, drop us a line to <a href='mailto:realworldgardener@gmail.com'>realworldgardener@gmail.com</a> or write to 2rrr PO Box 644 Gladesville NSW 1675
