Ever buy an orchid just for its foliage?

[Azizan]

Phalaenopsis schilleriana and stuartiana are good candidates!

[Yug]

Phal. Wiganiae, Phal. Hilo Lip, Phal. stuartiana.

Phal phillippensis, lindleyi are also beautiful.

I usually just buy them if they are in the 'needs extra love' section of the nursery. However, with my latest batch, I specifically looked for cool foliage since they spend 50 weeks of the year without flowers!

I bought a Paph delenatii, var Dunkel this spring just for the foliage. Who cares about the flower?

[Dorsetman]

The British Paph Society had competitive classes at the show table at all their meetings, when I was a member, some years ago ; and one class was for best foliage. Some of the marbled or mottled leaves paphs are really wonderful. Flowers were considered a disadvantage in that class.

Oeceoclades spathulifera. Neat little terrestrial from Madagascar.
