The bamboo orchid is a terrestrial perennial orchid with reedy stems, forming into large clumps. The bamboo orchid gets its common name because its tall, stiff stems resemble reeds or bamboo. This tropical Asiatic genus extends from India, Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, South China to Indonesia and across the Pacific Islands. This orchid blooms in summer and autumn, showing rather open clusters of showy terminal flowers, ten at the most. Tropical plant, USDA zone 10-11.
