Promenaea mix - flori parfumate

Promenaea is a rare species of epiphytic orchid native to the tropical forests of Brazil, valued for its yellow, waxy, and bright flowers, with a slightly rounded shape and a subtle fragrance. This small-sized orchid belongs to the Orchidaceae family and is ideal for orchid collectors or for lovers of unusual plants, suited for cultivation in terrariums, display cases, or spaces with high humidity.

It has sympodial growth and forms small pseudobulbs, from which narrow leaves and delicate flowers emerge, in sunny colors, which can appear in waves several times a year under ideal conditions.

The bloomings are abundant and spectacular – each bulb can produce 1-2 flower spikes measuring 5-10 cm in length. Each spike usually carries 2 yellow, pleasantly scented flowers with a long lifespan.
