Santa Rosa Gardens

Kuchibeni in Japanese means "amazing lipstick," referring to the strong pink flush around the lip of its small white, Cattleya-like flower. Like its other B. striata cousins, this one is easy to grow in the lightly shaded garden or in containers and is long-blooming. As clumps of 'Kuchibeni' expand gradually, the effect is sensational, especially massed under deciduous trees.
