Nageliella (syn. Domingoa) purpurea - The Hummingbird Orchid

A native orchid to Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. This plant grows best in well-draining mix or on treefern or cork slabs. Grow intermediate to warm and water often. It will flower successively for several months and the old stems should not be cut as they can regenerate new flowers the next season. If grown outside, the flowers will most likely be pollinated by hummingbirds as they are very attracted to this orchid.
