The best of these can be spectacular with a ruby lip and pure white sepals and petals. No guarantees but there is the potential. These are freshly potted in 4 1/2 inch pots.
Several times a year we import plants just to get some unusual things for our customers. This is one of those. They have good roots and look good. There are a few blemishes on the foliage but this is typical. Usually we wait a couple of months before offering imported plants to make sure they will grow okay, but these look so good we decided to offer them now.
We ship USPS or UPS usually within 1 or 2 business days.
