    Default Telipogon davidsonii

    Peruvian species from high elevations, 2600-3500m. Flower size 2.5-3cm. Plant size 10-12cm. Cool grower. The flowers are very long lasting, two to three months. First pic from May, the rest from July 12.

    Thank you, Thomas! I have seen Telipogon pictured many times but never with such an exquisite detailed close-up before.

    Does anyone happen to know if that "hook" in front of the "eye" is indeed used as a hook in some fashion?

    Thank you all for the comments!

    The function of the hook is to attract pollinators and as landing aid...
