Nature doesn’t need an audience. These wonderful orchids come from

the south-eastern Ecuadorian and Peruvian cloud forests from elevations of

1000 to 2000 meters and as such not many people throughout history got to see

them. However, thanks to intrepid collectors we do get to see this wonderful

Monkey Orchid. Someone didn’t need much imagination to name it though, let’s face it.

The orchid was only named in 1978 by the botanist Luer but is in a family containing over

120 species mostly found in Ecuador. Up in the cloud mountains the monkey orchid can flower at any time –

it is not season specific. It scent resembles that of a ripe orange.
