Maxillaria Quercicola
Quercicola orchid, scientifically known as Maxillaria quercicola, is a rare and striking member of the orchid family native to the cloud forests of Central America. This unique species is characterized by its vivid green leaves and intricate, fragrant flower spikes that bloom in a range of colors from white to deep purple.

Conservation efforts are underway to protect this delicate species and preserve its natural habitat. Its rarity and elegance make it a subject of both scientific interest and botanical admiration.
