Eulophia guineensis
Eulophia guineensis
Eulophia guineensis is a striking terrestrial orchid native to Africa, typically flourishing in open grasslands and forest clearings. Its robust structure supports tall flower spikes, adorned with numerous small, brownish-green to yellow flowers. These blooms are distinctive for their pronounced, spade-shaped lip, which is often streaked or spotted with deeper hues. Characteristic of its resiliency, eulophia guineensis thrives in well-drained soils, capitalizing on seasonal rains.
