Coryanthes vasquezii 'Colombia' represents a recently identified Colombian orchid species, characterized by its multiple light, delicate, and translucent white inflorescences. This species can bloom 2 times a year, spring & fall. The fragrant blooms of the Coryanthes are notable for their exceptional size within Orchidaceae.
Post-flowering, these robust specimens adapt well to transplantation into 15-centimeter cultivation baskets for optimal development.
Coryanthes vasquezii 'Colombia' is a fascinating bucket orchid demonstrating remarkable coevolution with Euglossini bees. Its pendant stems produce flowers with bucket-shaped lips that secrete fluid, attracting male bees with potent aromatic oils. This specialized pollination mechanism ensures cross-pollination when bees visit multiple flowers, transferring pollen packets during their escape from the bucket structure.
