The Prelude

[Neil Soares]

Hi,   Was at my farm yesterday. Waghchora [Pecteilis gigantea] the queen of ground orchids was flowering, though disappointing. This one stood  21/2 ft tall.   Have another ready to bloom which stands 4ft tall. Hopefully should have some better photographs to post next week.                 With regards,                     Neil Soares.

thats so nice. I have never seen this plant in wild. Thats why they
are called gigantea....!!!!
Thank u so much for sharing.

Infact I also wanted to share that, I got request from Kew for
typification of this genus, and I found that the species which are
kept there as Sussanae and gigantea were the same, so I imagine if
there is a real sussanae in the wild or it should be treated just as a
synonym. There is not much difference in them!!
