1 Plant bloom size , estimate plant 2-3 leave
🌱 Vegetative Features:
Leaves: Huge, leathery, and deep green - can grow up to 1 meter (3 feet) long, resembling those of Phalaenopsis orchids (hence the name), though the two are unrelated.
Growth habit: Epiphytic - grows on trees in humid tropical forests.
Pseudobulbs: Small and inconspicuous, often overshadowed by the massive leaves.
🌸 Flowers:
Size: The flower clusters (inflorescences) can be large, with many small flowers per spike.
Color: Typically dark red, maroon, or purplish-brown with a somewhat waxy texture.
Scent: Infamously foul-smelling - often compared to rotting meat or carrion, which attracts fly pollinators (sapromyophily).
Bloom time: Irregular, but typically in warm and humid conditions.
