Cochleanthes discolor is a specialty species orchid found in central America, Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These buttery yellow flowers with a large, soft purple lip are known for its unique fragrance, a blend of cedar and the spice of black pepper. These single flower bloomers have the capability to grow relatively large. With proper care, its leaves can reach up to a foot long with flowers around 2" in size. This orchid does not have a pseudobulb therefore it is not able to store water and media must not be allowed to dry out completely. This species thrives under lower light levels and in temperatures between 65F and 70F during the day and between 50-55F in the evening

I ordered two of this species offering. They both arrived in beautiful condition and both in bud with an additional inflorescence developing on each plant. The roots were insanely healthy and they were well packed. They should be blooming in a few days. I’m really excited about this new addition to my collection. I would definitely recommend Akatsuka and am certain that I will purchase from them again.
This plant immediately became one of the most attractive flowering orchids we have with its large, vibrant, yet elegant and low key display. Perfect foliage with no visible damage or disease
