Habenaria medusa
This very intriguing flower makes almost anyone into a decent photographer. Flowers appear so dainty & delicate, but they are quite durable. The sequentlal blooming habit can keep a plant in bloom for one or two months.
I have seen sources that have grouped this species with bulbophyllums. I believe this is a mistake based on the species named Bulbophyllum medusae, which has a flower resembling the mythological Medusa. However, it is highly unlikely that there would two closely related species with the almost identical names "medusa" & "medusae".

Thanks for sharing this beauty. Sort of looks like it belongs under the sea.
Very Nice!

That is one of the neatest flowers I've ever seen. I always get a thrill when someone posts a pic of theirs.

nenella,
You weren't the only one who started searching.
Here's a UK site which stocks them. Alas currently Out of Stock, but it's a start.
Habenaria medusa --- Rare Plants
If I come across any others I'll try and remember to let you know about them. |
