Orchid ‘Diplocaulobium Chrysotropis’

Diplocaulobium chrysotropis is found in the wild on Papua New Guinea. It is found there in the slightly colder regions at an altitude of 1.000 to 1.300 meter. The plant consists of a single bulb from which a leaf of a few centimetre grows. Each specimen forms one flower. This will have slender petals and a bright lip with gold coloured fraying. It is therefore also often referred to as ‘golden keeled Diplocaulobium’. There are also purple and orange specks on the lip. It is possible to keep Diplocaulobium chrysotropis on a piece of hanging bark.
