Christmas Orchid

[Rick]

Some people call Calanthes the Christmas orchid. This is C. vestista, and it's been a reliable Christmas bloomer for 3 or 4 years for me now.

Not often seen!

Very nice, strong inflorescence!! I never had any chance with growing Calanthe; at best they survived 2 - 3 years!. Jean

I agree with Peter & Jean!

I had one....it died within 3 months.

I hope that is not a can of WD40 sitting on your bench!!!!!!!! That is what it looks like from here.

That is really pretty.

I sometimes need to lubricate fan motors.
