>>11421697Coryanthes are pretty cool.
My dad collects rare orchids and he has a fuck ton, we've even gone into the jungle to find them.
Did you know they live in a 3 way symbiosis with an ants nest in there roots and a species of small epidendrum (another orchid)?
They're also extremely rare, finding one in the wild is considered a once in a lifetime event.
They largest variety of coryanthes is actually the heaviest orchid flower, its called coryanthes bruchmuelleri and its found in Barinas state in venezuela (were chavez is from lmao), the flower is as big as a softball, pretty cool.
