Poor man's orchid The dutch name means &#039;poor man&#039;s orchid&#039;. I think that this plant doesn&#039;t deserve that name.

Poor man's orchid

The dutch name means 'poor man's orchid'. I think that this plant doesn't deserve that name. It has a nice color, shape and even drops of fluid on the stigma.

Dutch name: Paddenlelie / Armeluisorchidee
Not completely sure about the Linnaeus name. One source says Tricyrtis Formosana, but Tricyrtis macropoda matches the description aswel.
