Default DICHAEA POLLINIZER

Today opens this beauty flower, this Dichaea (unknow name) found in the ecuadorian rainforest has a very strong scent like caramell, is about 3 - 4 cm.
When I touch the flower with my finger, something happens, the flower glue this pollen sacs on my nail.... The flower think my finger is a pollinizer.... The glue is strong for the size of the pollen sacs...
Enjoy the amazing natur of the ecuadorian orchids.

That's so cool!

Have you tried to pollinate it?

This makes the job so much easier. You don't have to use a toothpick to get the pollina off the column and out of the anther cap.

So cool!
