#porpax

[phytophiliac]

Epidendrum porpax is an orchid native to Mexico, Venezuela and Bolivia. I don't know how it is pollinated, but based on its bug-like appearance, it wouldn't surprise me if it is one of those orchids that tricks an insect into attempting to mate with it and subsequently pollinating it.
