Dear friends,

Sending photos of orchid plant bought from a Mumbai Nursery.  The Nursery lady does not have the ID of the orchid but told me it has just finished flowering and it will flower again after one or two months.   It is a terrestrial type orchid with straped leaves.   I would be obliged if anyone can please tell me the ID of this orchid.

Regards,

Mani.

Dear all,

This plant is not an orchid plant.  Last week I saw flowers on it which does not resemble an orchid.  I will soon send the flower photos.   The  vendor had fooled me in believing that this is an orchid.

Regards,

Mani.

Gurcharan Ji,
This is definitely not an Orchid.
As Tanay correctly identified Dianella, it is Dianella tasmanica.
Hope I am correct.
Regards,
Aarti

Yes Aarti ji, it is already under Xanthorrhoeaceae in our database
Tanay had suggested Dianella, Pankaj suggested Stypandra
Let us hope to get confirmed Id
Dianella tasmanica typically has blue to purple flowers followed by purple berries.
