The basic form of octopus orchid

The basic form of octopus orchid

The octopus orchid, also known as the scallop orchid, looks very much like the small sea king octopus in One Piece, and its lip petals look like beautiful scallop shells, hence the name.

The octopus orchid has petals and sepals, both of which are linear, yellow-green in color, slightly twisted and drooping naturally, looking like a small octopus from a distance.

As you can see from the picture, the lip of the octopus orchid has not undergone any modification, but it is still very gorgeous. The purple-black color is accompanied by yellow stripes, and you can vaguely see the sense of mystery. I almost want to take it home! The lip stem is located just above the flower and is particularly eye-catching. The lip curls downward to wrap around the style.

The roots of the octopus orchid. Octopus orchid has a pseudobulb, which is flat and oval in shape, and the inflorescence will emerge from the pseudobulb.
