Schomburgkia Albopurpurea

A medium sized epiphyte from the cayman Islands also known as Myrmecophila Thomsoniana. This is not an orchid we plan to carry regularly because the flower spikes get very long and are not suited for terraria. It can however do well in a household setting.

Blooms in the summer with mostly white flower small maroon accent. Spikes can reach up to 120cm in length.
