Rob's Kalangadoo


Very unusual 'leaf chimera' with semimini trailing foliage.  Double orchid blooms with dark blue fantasty streaks.  Unique, dusting and streaking of gold on pointed green foliage.  A mutation of 'Rob's Galiwinku' but with variable variegated mottling of foliage.

Rob's Kalangadoo

Average Rating 4.9 out of 5

Best Robs trailer yet; get one!

5-star plant! This 2-star photo doesn't even begin to do it justice. Hopefully new photos will be added here in the near future. Kalangadoo is the most striking - and certainly the most unusual - "Rob's" trailer yet. Glowing mosaic foliage, double fantasy blooms, fast grower, perfect trailer...it's an absolute must-have. Foliage has well-defined gold and bright green variegation, reliably present on each leaf. Leaf margins are somewhat serrated and quite pointed, which makes for an unusual leaf shape, sometimes reminiscent of maple leaves. When backlit with early-morning light, foliage glows with bold mosaic variegation. The blooms have a light orchid background reliably streaked and marbled with blue fantasy, not the garish shade shown in this photo. Blooms compliment the foliage well and are in constant good supply. The plant grows quickly and makes new crowns readily. New crowns on mine have been produced densely and at ground level, thus requiring little to no grooming to fill a pot with well-mannered growth. Buds and blooms appear even on tiny new crowns. This is a very easy-growing trailer. This plant will make a hanging basket like no other. If you grow any trailers, or if you're a fan of mosaic foliage, or if you want a truly unique violet, don't miss this one. Just get it; you won't regret it!
