A species from India and Burma. This miniature will produce over ten flowers on an inflorscence and can produce multiple inflorscences on a single bulb. It grows in a region with a long wet and a long dry season and temperatures which can go up to 100º F and down to near freezing – environmental conditions which should make it choice for lanai growers in our region.

A cross of C. Chocolate Drop by Slc. MaeHawkins, the five flowers on two inflorescences exhibited the intense color and waxy texture expected in C. Chocolate Drop offspring.

Ludisia discolor is grown for its folliage. Growing an outstanding plant requires continued maintenance – no insect eaten leaves, lush growth, and of course, no residue on the leaves to distract from the natural beauty. Margaret’s plant with over 70 inflorescences was an example of outstanding culture.
