    Default Rhynchostylis violacea

    Endemic to some areas of the island of Luzon. Similar to R gigantea, with fewer flowers.

    What gorgeous flowers! It looks like a child took a purple paintbrush to them, to make them smile!

    Thanks, Nelson!

    These rhynchostylis are so pretty! And the fragrance is amazing! I have seen a giant specimen of these guys and it was quite a sight and smell to behold!

    Cheers. Hoa.
