Gentian Noddingcaps (Triphora genianoides)

Add to Cart

This odd looking orchid is very common in Southwest Florida and for years I didn't even know it was an orchid, but rather some strange fungus in my flowerbeds. The gentian noddingcaps flourishes in damp eucalyptus or cypress mulch - where summer rains keep it hot and steamy.
