I've been looking up Spiranthes online, and was stunned to learn there
are pink species native throughout the western Pacific rim.  For
example...

I'm equally surprised about NOT being able to find these in commerce.
Does anyone here know if anyone hybridized them with North American
Spiranthes?  This notion is really intriguing to me.  Spiranthes
"Chadd's Ford" is so common, it seems like someone would have tried
colorizing it by now.
