Bifrenaria harrisoniae *fragrant

Bifrenaria harrisoniae Orchid - Found in the coastal areas of Brazil, this medium-sized orchid grows in warm conditions, being an epiphyte or occasionally a lithophyte exposed to direct sunlight, at altitudes between 200 and 700 meters. The plant has ovoid-pyriform, angular, deeply grooved pseudobulbs that support a single apical leaf, elliptic-elongated, somewhat upright, slightly pointed or blunt, with a thin and folded texture. It blooms in early summer with a short, basal, racemose, semi-upright inflorescence, shorter than the leaves, bearing up to two fragrant flowers with a fruity scent. The flowers appear on the most recent pseudobulb, and often there are two inflorescences on each.

This orchid prefers warm conditions and requires a dry resting period during winter. After this period, it is recommended to resume watering and fertilizing with the appearance of new growth in spring.

Note: Leaves show sun exposure and/or defects, and the bulbs are yellow - this aspect is due to being grown in direct sunlight and is considered normal for this species.

Fragrant flowers: YES

Flower size: approx. 7.5 cm
