Native Singaporean Orchid notes: Neofinetia Falcata
|
Neofinetia Falcata - Used in Floral 9 (Women) for Team building Perfume workshop
Neofinetia falcata is supposed to be the first orchid ever to be grown as a house plant in Japan in the 1600’s. Also known as the Samurai Orchid, it is one of the world’s highest priced orchid (depending on the rarity of each sub-variety), with a history of some plants selling for $100,000+. Neofinetias generally flower in June and July, and at dusk and dawn. This makes the oil-extraction extremely difficult. This is another non-native Singaporean variety. But we have added due to its exotic demeanor. |
