Doryanthes
Doryanthes palmeri, Doryanthes excelsa
Gymea Lily
The dramatic large clumping form of Doryanthes could be used as a native alternative to exotic agave or Furcraea as an accent plant in modern or tropical-style landscapes. The spectacular flower spike, when it appears, is a bonus.
More information about Doryanthes coming to this page in the future.
