They are irregularly banded alternately dark green and whitish, with white toothed edges. The flowers are orange to redish pink, large flowers, hanging loosely on a simple inflorescence arranged in a raceme of around 8 – 12 inches in height. It’s flowers are produced in the winter with offsets being readily formed.
