Leafless for most of the year, this spring/early-summer bloomer is a show stopper! Cascades of beautifully coloured flower spikes emerge from the base of the silvery-green root tangle, and with a fragrance to match (thanks to the lunifera parent), it enthrals the collector. With origins in the eastern Himalayan/Indochina region and a background in the rare leafless genus Chiloschista, this hybrid brings sculptural roots and dramatic blooms together in one unforgettable plant.
