The Fuqua Orchid Center is a garden of surprises. I walked into the greenhouse early yesterday morning and came face to face with the pinched and furrowed face of a
Coryanthes macrantha (Bucket Orchid) bud. The light was dim and I think I jumped.
For sheer bud awesomeness, nothing beats
Coryanthes. A
Coryanthes labors for weeks to produce two enormous buds. Those buds become the most riveting objects in the entire greenhouse.
What's inside?
