About CHUXAY GARDEN Mix Rare Monkey Face Orchid Seed 100
There are over 110 varieties of this magnificent plant, and this grouping is known as the Dracula genus and over half of them are found in Ecuador alone. They’re a bit tricky to master, like a lot of orchid species, but the reward for success is a perennial plant that can bloom during any season and whose blossoms scent of a ripe orange. The scientific name of Dracula Simia pays homage to the blossom of this plant as it roughly translates to “little dragon monkey”. Though, some people agree that “Dracula” is in reference to the long fang-like spikes that emerge from its petals, and the dark blood-red color of some stems in the family. Growing up to 2 feet tall, this orchid plant can produce blossoms in a multitude of colors like red, lavender, yellow, and more. The pattern of the petals vary greatly per plant and can feature smooth color, dots, or even stripes. However, the distinguishing feature of a monkey-face appearing blossom is consistent throughout the genus. Three distinct petals that form into long spines originate from the blossom’s center and converge to reveal a construction reminiscent of a monkey face! It’s such a likeness to our banana-loving pals, a capuchin monkey to be exact, that you might do a double-take.
