Cyrtorchis arcuata

An interesting species for orchid hobbyists! Widespread in African forests. This species can grow in cool to warm temperatures and needs a cooler drier rest in winter in order to flower well. Grow in bright light either in pots with well drained media or in baskets or on slabs. Sweet fragrance at night! The flowers are all white except for the ovaries which are green. Curiously, the flowers turn orange as they get to the end of their flowering period.
