    Default Trichoglottis retusa

    Sabah, an province on Borneo island is very rich in Trichoglottis. More then 24 species were reported until now. On of them is Trichoglottis retusa with cute yellow flowers.

    Cool blooms. Looks like it would be fragrant. And that would make it even better!

    Hi Pavel, not this Trichoglotis is not an climbing plant. It's growing upright, the roots stick to the bark and hold the plant.
