Special Highlight of Year 2006 - Anoectochilus albolineatus

Spectacular Jewel of Malaya

 

Anoectochilus albolineatus is a mountain jewel found from places ranging from Myanmar to Malaya with dark leaves beautifully variegated with bright orange-red venation. Commonly with 2-5 blooms, our highlight however, carried a staggering number of 9 blooms carefully spaced to one direction (light source) to attract pollinator. This magnificent display of flowers with curiously-shaped lips might appear insect-like to many people. Indeed one of the most beautiful jewel at its best.
