I have this magenta or pinkish purple Spathoglottis plicata in my garden.
Spathoglottis plicata is listed as vulnerable in Australia.
In Malaysia, we can find this orchid in many homes in the kampungs and villages. Some local people believe that when planted in front of their homes it can ward off bad vibes and evil spirits.
