Dear Nature Lovers,
Greetings from oikos !
Few orchids are very interesting with completely different flowering and foliage season. It is very difficult to spot flowering of such orchid as in Nervilia infundibulifolia, which is in bloom only for 10 days just at the arrival of monsoon. But leaves cannot be missed due to its peculiar design. |
Regards,
Ketaki & Manasi.
