The Moustache Orchid
As being modelled here by Lily, this is Trisetella hoeijeri and is one of our all time favourites due to its close resemblance to a moustache! Trisetella hoeijeri is native to Venezuala and so it is grown in our greenhouses with the miniatures in the section ‘Cool America’. This plant was brought in 1998 and has since then been split up and individual plants were mounted on cork bark, this specific Trisetella in the photo has been mounted to cork bark for four years.
