Pak Chong Scout

These were seen and admired at one of the nurseries lining the road between Khao Yai National Park and Pak Chong town. Nothing left that nursery that visit. And really, I was happy to leave them behind. I did ask if leaf cuttings could be purchased. When that was turned down, it was easy enough to walk away. Another consideration was that for that size, I preferred a native Thai species as opposed to commercial hybrids. That's a priority and objective henceforth.


OJ already has this one and I've been trying to grow it from leaves and rhizomes she's provided. B Popenoei is what it's called.

Known as B Black Fancy and other names. I haven't got this one. Had one that looked similar but came with a whorl.

Looks easy to grow, like B. Martin's Mystery.

Have to add the name

Two strains. Top: looks like B River Nile; Bottom: TBA

A variant of B. Chloroneura

Foreground: B. Chloroneura
