What is your birth-orchid? April-Odontglossum  【Original Habit】Central American and South American highlands over 2000 meters high. They grow on the ground in Cloud Forest, where it is always filled with clouds and mist throughout the year.  【Derivation】 The name came from the Greek words Odentos (meaning “tooth”) and Glossa (meaning “tongue”). It means “tooth and tongue,” because the flower looks like a tooth and a tongue. Maybe?  【History】 This orchid became well known after Princess Diana used these flowers for her wedding bouquet. In the East, they call this orchid a shooting star orchid, because the shape of the flowers is like a star.  【The Meaning of the Flower】 Special one  >>orchidsbooks.com<< |
