It is believed there are some 350 native species in the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. More than a hundred of these may be easily seen on orchid trails, in their natural habitat.
These plants grow in the ground and have ovoid-conic pseudo-bulbs with 3 or 4 leaves at the apex.
Flowers: Three to six large flowers hang in clusters from the peduncle. They are green, heavily mixed with light crimson. Sepals and petals are the same color, a white lip is adorned with purple veins. It flowers from September to December.
Habitat/Distribution: Terrestrial. A common species in cloud forest areas at about 1 500 mt. / 5 000 ft.
Rare and beautiful flowers dedicated to the Gods of the Andes, home of the Inca and to all the lovely ladies of Ancientworlds, the Americas, Celtia, Egypt, Germainia, Hellas, The Orient, Mespotamia and Rome.
FLOWERS AND WOMEN - BEAUTIFUL TREASURES.
Thank you *S*
