Fu-Ran – the Japanese Wind Orchid

Neofinetia falcata, a famous native orchid of Japan, was the favorite of the ruling Shogun. Today, we know it as one of the most beautiful and charming of all orchid species. A compact growing vandaceous type that flowers freely in its summer season and often more than once a year will delight you with its elegant white blooms emitting the most beautiful, sweet coconut-like perfume. Grows easily in bark or moss in pots or baskets along with cattleyas, phals. or on a windowsill in the home or office. This is one adaptable orchid! In nature, plants can be dusted with snow in winter, and monsoons in summer. Its hybrids are just as desirable, and are sure to add some color to the collection of this group. All plants are limited. Please check for their availability.
