Ludisia Discolor - Jewel Orchid

The Jewel Orchid is an unusual flowering perennial plant that is native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia.

While most orchids are known for their blooms, the Jewel Orchid is known for its exquisite dark green foliage which features veiny pinstripe patterns. It also produces white flowers carried by tall, thin stalks. 

These jewel orchid flowers bloom during the late fall and early spring season and are terrestrial, meaning they grow on the ground, unlike their epiphytic orchid cousins.
