Smithiantha zebrina: Blooming size plant

This rare and hard to find species is realated to the African Violet and is just as easy to grow. We grow ours in Bright indirect light with direct morning sun light. The bright green leaves have dark brown striation-like veins over the entire surface of the leaf.
These plants grow from corms in the spring and flower in fall. After flowering, they go dormant again until spring. The flowers are born on tall upright stems with the flowers hanging down like Christmas orniments on a bare Christmas tree.
See our web site at: OrchidEnterprise.com for more pictures of this beautiful flower and plant. Plants are sold as growing plants or as dug-up corms; depending on the time of year.
A truly unique and wonderful plant. Easy to grow and bloom too!
