Pot Size: 1.5 litre Price: £12.00 Description: A hardy plant from Thailand! This plant is living proof, one of the collections I made in the Golden Triangle. While being befriended by an unit of the paratroopers guarding the border with Burma, using armoured personnel carriers with heavy mounted machineguns to accompany me. Here within the forest at only 2050m altitude, it formed low growing clumps of divided pale bronzy foliage from scaly rhizomes. Continuously (spring to December) sending out spikes of bright pink flowers with paler elongated spurs. Easily grown in sun or part shade in any fertile drained soil that does not dry out. Collected in 1999 and still going strong outside.
