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!
