Thunia

Thunia Gatton gx is a sizable, deciduous terrestrial orchid characterized by canes that can reach lengths of up to 60 cm, encased in narrow, alternating papery sheaths. Its leaves are lanceolate, measuring about 20 cm in length and 4 cm in width, and can exhibit green or occasionally blue-green hues. During the summer months, mature canes produce terminal clusters of five to ten flowers. Each flower spans approximately 10 cm and is primarily white, with some exhibiting a pale pink tint. The lip of the flower features a golden-yellow color accented by dark pink veins and a frilled pink edge. This orchid sheds its leaves in winter, with fresh growth emerging in the spring from the buds located at the base of the previous year’s canes.
