hello dear hive friends, wherever you are, see you again zulfanies, as usual I want to share with all of my friends some portraits of orchids along with a little explanation.
well this orchid is one of the flowers of Indonesian identity, especially in Maluku this plant has two other names, namely Dendrobium phalaenopsis and the other is Dendrobium bigibbum.
orchids have long been the pride of Indonesia, the contribution of Indonesian orchids to the world's orchid repertoire is quite large, of the 20,000 orchid species scattered throughout the world, 6000 of which are in Indonesian forests.
orchids are one of the ornamental plant flowers that have a variety of colors and flower shapes, but unfortunately this potential is often faced with scarcity and the threat of extinction, as is being faced by this type of larat orchid. Morphologically, Larat Orchid is an epiphytic type of orchid, this plant has a club-shaped stem with a small base, the middle enlarges and the tip tapers back, the leaves have thick fleshy leaves about 12cm long and 2cm wide.
from light green to dark green and shiny on the leaf surface. The leaves are arranged attached to the stem and alternately attached to other leaves. while the color of this larat orchid has a dark purple color, the flower shape is arranged in the form of bunches that grow on its stems and slightly hangs the length of the flower bunches is approximately 60cm with the number of flowers per bunch 6 to 24 buds.
I took this orchid yesterday at our family's house in Aceh, hopefully all of Hive's friends will like it. only this from me a little explanation about this larat orchid, thank you.
