IOS Member, Craig Gibbon introduces us to Bolusiella, a small genus of Angraecoid epiphytic African orchids.
On Sunday 15th June, IOS Chair, David Morse, led an “Orchid Safari” to Bull Island seeking as many species and genus as we could find.
Wondering what orchid is featured in the background?
This is a Hammarbya paludosa, commonly known as a bog orchid. It can be found in boglands near slow running streams. A small, inconspicuous orchid which can reach 15 cm in height but usually grows to between 4 and 8 cm. The flowers have a sweet, cucumber-like scent.
