Orchidantha

aroidgrower · 02-10-2007, 03:54 AM

I have one species of Orchidantha but have been interested in this group for sometime. I am wondering if anyone has photos of it in flower or if anyone else is growing and forms of this. It is a banana relative on the same family tree as Musa but on its own. The foliage resembles that of a light colored cast iron plant and the flowers are usually black and look almost exactly like a orchid.

The only pix I've seen are at www.montosogardens.com
and www.asianflora.com

Neither were very informative.

I would like to see some pix of these plants though.

Good Luck!
