Crepidium Lunatum

Crepidium lunatum is a rare and enigmatic orchid species known for its unique moon-like appearance. Native to remote regions of Southeast Asia, it thrives in humid, shaded environments with rich organic soil. Its delicate white blooms emit a subtle fragrance, attracting specific pollinators at night. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it is now critically endangered and protected in many countries. Conservation efforts are crucial to preserving this ethereal plant for future generations.
