Types of Cynorkis

Cynorkis flexuosa

Cynorkis flexuosa is characterized by its striking, wavy-edged leaves and clusters of delicate flowers that dangle from arching stems, reminiscent of miniature ballet dancers swaying gracefully to an unseen breeze. These blooms often exhibit a profound maroon or violet hue, a vivid contrast against the lush greenery of its native humid and shaded habitats. The plant's form and coloration serve not only as a lure for pollinators but also as a testament to its adaptability in the dappled light of forest floors.
