Post by Kaleem »

Last week went to sector F-8, for the registration of vehicle. In a green belt out side of a house have seen this plant. Inquired from the gardener but he didnot know its name but he has offered me four plants, offer was accepted happily :D .
Its leaf style is same like Cast Iron Plant and have not seen this before in any nursery of Islamabad.

Looks like one plant which the nurserymen call as an orchid. It bears deep purple flowers on a upright stalk.. I may be wrong because it could something from the pine family. Does it have a bulb?

This is what I was referring to the so-called Ground Orchid.
