Orchid (Butterfly Swamp)

 
Papilionanthe hookeriana Rchb.f. (1915) is one type of orchid species Indonesian national pride because the interest is captivating. Even the orchid symbol of the country of Singapore is Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim was descended from a cross between Papilionanthe hookeriana with Papilionanthe Teres. Hookeriana name is given as a tribute to Sir William Jackson Hooker, a professor of botany in the 18th century who had served as director of the Botanical Gardens at Kew, England. 
These include marsh orchids orchids because generally grows in swampy areas. When seen from the figure of stature, orchids are very similar to the close relatives of  Papilionanthe Teres, so often when people can not distinguish the two types of orchids this if only to see the plants alone.
 

 In the natural habitat of this plant can reach 2.5 m. high Trunk rounded-cylindrical, jointed and covered with a thin sheath. Between 0.5 to 1.2 cm diameter rod. The leaves are also cylindrical with tapered ends and upright position. Surface smooth stems and leaves are green. Roots appear throughout the book on its trunk. Nature is what makes the orchid is easy to bred through techniques stem cuttings. Because the form of cylindrical stems and leaves that resembles a pencil, this orchid is often also referred to as the orchids pencil. But when viewed from the side botanic, forms of orchids is an adaptation to high light intensity, because the cylindrical shape of leaves and stems and leaves of the upright position reduces the field evaporation (transpiration) of water is excessive. Therefore, these plants are very adaptive in the lowlands of 000-700 m above sea level as well as an outdoor plant that resists exposure to direct sunlight, with a record medium roots moist enough. Rates, including large size, 5-6 cm in diameter.
 
 

Flowers are arranged in bunches whose length is 15-25 cm long and emerged from the armpit leaves. Each cluster can display at once with 2-15 florets bloom patterns are not in unison. From observations made, every flower has a bloom period between 20-22 days. The flowers are lilac to purple base whitish ..Given the beautiful flowers, large-sized, durable and nature can bloom throughout the year, the orchid has great potential to be a parent crossing. There are also many interesting articles previously provided on this blog, please visit and get more info about the flowers and plants.
