Field Notes

Description:

A lovely miniature orchid species from Ecuador and Peru. The bubble-like glands within the flower produce a fragrance similar to that of cloves and cinnamon. Grown by me.

Notes:

Normally I would not upload pictures of plants in cultivation but seeing that this species has not been represented in PN yet, I decided to do otherwise.
