    A very slow growing species for me, but well worth the wait. The flowers are long lasting and fragrant. The flowers are about 1" tall.

    Very nice. This is reminiscent of Lily-of-the-Valley.

    The crisp white flowers are very appealing.

    It is amazing to me how many people don't grow polystachyas. There are some really great ones.
