Calanthe Kojima Orange Osmunda When the giant 4' longCalanthe 'Kojima Orange' is the orange flowered strain of hybrids derived from crosses of Calanthe discolor, sieboldii, aristulifera, and tricarinata. The 10" flower stalks emerge for us in mid April, adorned with outfacing orange flowers with a yellow to butterscotch lip. The pleated green basal foliage is evergreen in most winters. Average to slightly moist woodland soils are best.
