I went to UBC Botanical Gardens today and happened across Fascicularia bicolor ssp. canaliculata which is an inland form of the species sometimes growing as an epiphytic in central Chile. This plant has been growing in this location for many years and originally came from an outdoor collection at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. It was much larger than I expected and the red colour is quite striking.
