Neutral palmbob On Sep 4, 2006, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote:

This species looks a lot like a clump of grass- leaves very grass-like. Needs less light than many species, but still would prefer more light (not direct sun, usually). Dark lavendar flowers extend way beyond the grassy tufts. From Veracruz, Mexico
