Puro orchid (Teagueia puroana)

A newly discovered orchid species survives frozen conditions in the eastern Andes of #Ecuador. This species was found on the Puro Reserve by researcher Lou Jost, and is one of the rarest orchids there, growing on the low branches and trunks of isolated and small trees.

Sunlight through tree orchids this morning

Dactylorhiza praetermissa but not a 100% sure. This tiny about 1 cm pink flower is one of many on a stem. Up close, many small flowers or their details are almost transparent. What if all of humanity was honest and transparent, without double agendas and with care for the earth and each other. How much more would we love each other and live together in peace on a beautyful healthy earth

Wild orchid blooming at my place. I think it may be an epidendrum nocturnum. This one was at eye level, which was fantastic because they're usually very high up in the trees

My newest orchid purchase ($8.99). It's a dendrobium, but not sure what kind. The cute kind!

Two more pink moth #orchids have bloomed.

(via Center for Biological Diversity:) #Ghost #orchids are barely surviving as poaching and wetland destruction take a devastating toll on their #habitat and their future. Don't let the feds ghost these rare plants: Tell the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect them as endangered and strengthen habitat safeguards. https://act.biologicaldiversity.org/KW-1tQcJmkSKo9aj11bpRg2

It's that time of year again and my plants are all coming out into flower!

The big red orchid is, I think, Miltonidium Bartley Schwartz. And the pink/white philaenopsis orchid was a 75p cocodama rescue with rotting roots this time last year, and has now flowered on multiple spikes.

The begonia is Esmay Peach and the mixed gazanias are some bedding plants from the back of the discount pile because they were past the point they could be put in bedding.

Broad-leaved Helleborine flower at Hunstrete, near #Bath #Somerset #UK. Three flower spikes growing close together, only one still had flowers, the others had gone to fruit already.

My hot pink moth #orchids are the most prolific bloomers, out of my small collection of indoor orchid #houseplants. These ones always produce multiple blooms & are delightful to admire.

Attempting to rehab one of my dad’s basement window plants. This cymbidium is just a tad root-bound. There are two living pseudobulbs somehow, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to find viable roots in this mass.
