Mormodes maculata

[Gena]

Mormodes maculata is endemic to Mexico. It has quite unusual flowers – they are facing upwards and they never fully open, but they are sitting so close to each other, that when you are looking at them from an upper angle they look like a “flower road”.
Flowers are strongly fragrant and the fragrance reminds me some kind of cough mixture, actually quite pleasant to my nose.
