They make great companions for your little Bletillas. Don't miss next month in the Orchid Garden. Find out about one of the strangest orchids. The fantastic Stanhopeas. These orchids have 3 to 5 inch blossoms which are allied to their pollination system.
Insects landing on the flower's smooth lip, fall into the long beak-like column.
When the insect leaves the column, they brush against the flower's sex organs transferring pollen from male anther to female stigma thus pollenating the flower.
