Schoenorchis juncifolia

Schoenorchis juncifolia is a beautiful terete-leaved, pendant Indonesian species. Ours grow well in intermediate to warm conditions in intermediate light. They bloom best in the summer, but we get occasional blossoms at other times of the year. The flowers have the best color in the summer which makes their appearance look like miniature wisteria when it blooms.  My photos of this one in bloom are of the less-colorful winter flowers. I love the detail and color in the flower photo at http://www.terragalleria.com/images/studio/stud11321.jpeg 

You will receive a blooming sized plant mounted on natural cork.

The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants states that “Schoenorchis comprises 23 species collectively distributed from the Himalayan region, southern India, and Sri Lanka to southern China and the Philippines, Thailand, south to Indonesia and east to New Guinea, Australia, and the Pacific islands including Samoa.” And yet, as of 6/25, Kew lists 31 “Accepted Species” in the genus Schoenorchis (no wonder there’s such confusion.)

We really like and enjoy growing growing them; many of which are miniatures. We currently have nine species available for sale.
