Just last week, I noticed strings of our hanging orchids ready to bloom. These are the Borneo Coelogyne rochussenii orchids.
Coelogyne rochussenii is a species of orchid, native to Borneo Island with a beautiful scent. They are found growing on tree branches and
rock faces in the primary forests of Borneo.
After a week or so, the orchids began to bloom.
Full bloom flowers are lightly lemon-scented.
A single well grown plant is able to flower a spectacular display of over 2500 flowers!!
It is estimated that there are about 3000 species of orchids found in the wild of Borneo. However, many of these treasures together with countless of plants and animals have been lost due to deforestation.
