Prosthechea baculus

Posted by The Writhlington Orchid Project on 15 Feb 2011 at 05:07 PM

Hi Zoe B here.  Prosthechea baculus grows in central and south America and, in our greenhouse, can be found in warm America. It has flowers quite like the Prosthechea cochleata but it only has two flower which are held back to back.  This is where it gets its name.  Like most Prosthecheas, it is another upside down orchid.
