Ludisia discolour, also known as a Black jewel orchid is unlike any typical orchid you might know, as she is appreciated for her foliage rather than her flowers! The almost-black, velvety leaves have delicate stiped veining which has caught the eye of plant collectors over recent times. She's easy care too!
