Prosthechea vespa

Posted by The Writhlington Orchid Project on 28 Feb 2011 at 04:05 PM

Prosthechea vespa is an amazing orchid.  It comes from South America, and can be found in Warm America in our greenhouse.  It grows in shady areas, in humid substrates with moss and loose soil.  There is also a Prosthechea vespa alba which has the same shape flower but it is plain white.
