Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi – 365 days of orchids – day 944
The lowland forests of Sarawak are rich in Phalaenopsis species and to follow yesterday’s Phalaenopsis bellina we have Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi which is almost always in flower with its successive flowers produces from branched flattened flower stems.
The species is found in Malaysia and the Philippines and lives in deep shade in lowland hot forests. We grow the species in our warm Asia section where it is flowering this week and will hopefully be appreciated by the Britain in Bloom judges later – good luck to the team at home.
