Tapeinochilus ananassae



13th September 2009


I was cheerfully writing files for this site when I selected this picture and suddenly felt the weight of old age land on my shoulders . Back in the day, I would have chased around the world for a source for this charming little Costus relative, and now when I ask myself how it happens to be here. Well, I had space in the growing case and I was talking to someone who happened to have a spare rooted cutting. Chasing round the world be damned, just plain lazy these days!
