The Nun Orchid, so commonly named for its' hooded flowers, is a large growing species of terrestrial orchid introduced into the United States from China in the 18th Century. It grows large, maturing at 2 to 3 feet tall, with large, wide, thinly pleated strap leaves.
The showy, lightly fragrant, large brown toned mauve to purple flowers rise from the pseudobulb main body of the plant in the late winter to early spring, in response to the shorter daylight hours. They form and open slowly over several weeks and last for about a month once fully opened.
This orchid is definitely tropical and must be protected from temperatures below 35ºF.
