One of my personal favourite orchids has just opened today! Stanhopea tigrina is an amazing plant, not just for it’s huge flower, but also for it’s smell. This orchid is attracting euglossine bees for pollination, which results in a simply beautiful smell that we’ve once had described as “better than glue”!

We’re not quite sure about that comment, but we do know that it looks, and smells, stunning! Warm America currently smells brilliant.
