Has diamond shaped, dark green, toothed leaves with ribs. Bears strange, pouch shaped, orange flowers spotted and streaked with brown and has a broad white band between the throat and pouch.
Flowers May-July
Likes a moist but well drained, acid soil in sun or partial shade in a cool spot. Best kept in a well ventilated alpine house, in a pot to grow best.
A martyr to white fly, red spider mites and aphids, fungal infections and the occasional slug/snail attack.
Does anyone know of a nursery in the US that carries this plant?
