Calanthe

Terrestrial species from Taiwan that is seldom offered for sale. We have just a handful of these available as divisions and there aren't many as this is a small hand. White flowers on stems to 20", this grows up to 6000' in Taiwan and can tolerate hard frosts. In colder gardens, mulch this well for winter.

This choice terrestrial orchid is a hybrid between Calanthe discolor and the rare C. izu-insularis resulting from breeding work in Japan. The flowers are nicely displayed above the pleated leaves with muted maroon sepals and petals which contrasts beautifully with the light pink labellum that is edged in white. Divisions from our plants - not laboratory imports.
