Rare Unusual Orchids

Dracula Raven Orchid
 The strange name Dracula literally means "little dragon", referring to the strange aspect of the two long spurs of the sepals
These epiphytic and terrestrial species are distributed in Central America and the northwest Andes, almost half in Ecuador alone. They prefer shadow and an even, rather cold, temperature.


The Moth Orchid
They are native throughout southeast Asia from the Himalayan mountains to the islands of Polillo, Palawan and Zamboanga del Norte in the island of Mindanao in the Philippines and northern Australia. Orchid Island of Taiwan is named after this genus. Little recent information about their habitat and their ecology in nature is available since little field research has been done in the last decades.



White Egret Orchid

Pecteilis radiata (syn. Habenaria radiata) is a species of orchid found in China, Japan, Korea and Russia.[1] It is commonly known as the White Egret Flower, Fringed Orchid or Sagiso.
