Acriopsis sp., Philippine Orchids

[PhilsDC]

One of the recent orchids I found in the forest thickets of Bukidnon, Mindanao island, Philippines.

I have no idea what's the name of species.

It is far different from other Acriopsis species I had in the past.

[mr. suarez]

The widespread Acriopsis javanica.

[orchidsal]

Widespread it may be, but still subtle and demure in color and substance, which has always been a bit rare in this world. AL

[mr. suarez]

True Al, especially nowadays when we are surrounded by large and gaudy man-made hybrids in megawatt colours that were artificially created not to attract pollinators and be a part of nature, but to attract humans and be completely tamed in a garden.

[orchidsal]

Very true Mr. Suarez. AL

[mazlani]

Is this color common in Philippines?. What I have growing wildly in my garden is darker in color.

Really a nice and simplistic elegance this orchid has.

Cheers,
