Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Zygopetalum Crinitum
|
Zygopetalum Crinitum - Used in Oriental 4 (Men) for Team building Perfume workshop
It's not native, but from Brazil. This species is a medium-sized, pseudobulb, terrestrial and epiphytic orchid. Sometimes its pseudobulb is partly buried, in dense undergrowth on top of exposed mountains and in regenerating (secondary) forest. It is also found growing in branch forks (where water and detritus collect and which are humus-filled) in mid-height trees in primary forest. It prefers moderate shade and gentle air movements. We included it for its scent which is spicy-floral and similar to narcissus. |
