Rhyncholaelia digbyana 'Green Giant' FCC/AOS - fragrant
Orchid Rhyncholaelia digbyana FCC/AOS - impressive botanical species, whose cultivations have been awarded in numerous competitions. The plant has huge flowers (up to 20 cm), with a unique appearance, strongly scented. The perfume is a combination between lemon and water lilies.

Growing recommendation: the plate can be mounted on wood/bark/cork supports, it can be grown in a terrarium, or in pots with bark/sphagnum, adjusting the frequency of irrigation and the amount of water depending on the chosen method.
Flower diameter: 17-20 cm
