Eurychone rothschildiana
|
We purchased this gorgeous specimen in 2015 and it has flourished since then. This Phalaenopsis-like orchid is native to the Central African region. The flowers are simply breath taking, with the delicate white hue merging to the intense green and finally darkening in the throat which then disappears into the spurs. When receiving this specimen, it was recommended to pot not mount this orchid, and that is the charm. It has since grown quite well in Arne's hand. The specimen seem to flower at about the same time of the year, late August to early September.

| A) Late July, seven buds were taking shape. |
 |
| B) August 9th, we had six flowers. Apparently, the first flower wilted when the last one opened! Love the roots hanging right on top of the plant. |
 |
| B) The intense green within each flower is really fascinating to see. |
 |
| C) By August 12, all remaining flowers were in full bloom. |
I hope you enjoyed this post. Our African beauty. Have a great week everyone.
That is a lovely flower, it's like some of the Dendrobiums.
