Disa versicolor having presence

Disa versicolor may surprise and delight when a strong colony is found flowering in the summer grass. Not only the erect flower cylinders rise above the wet grass here, but also the spreading-erect leaves that fold in and curve out to their slender tips.

Stem leaves are cauline and small, the three to five big leaves belong to the sterile stem that grows next to the fertile flower stem (Pooley, 1998; Manning, 2009).
