Habenaria medusae

Wednesday, September 22, 2010

I chance upon this orchid in Woon Leng. I actually wanted to get a Bulbophyllum medusae but this fella caught my attention the moment I stepped into the nursery. I heard from the owner that this is a terrestrial orchid. It has tubers buried in the soil. Once the flowering ends, it will shed everything and only the tuber will die off. Normally,the tuber will also produce another tuber or two before it withers. Currently, my plant already has a new sprouting tuber before the old one withers. Lucky me.
