Pleione Praecox Var. Birmanica

Burmese orchid, scientifically known as Pleione praecox var. birmanica, is a rare and exquisite flowering plant native to the mountainous regions of Myanmar. This species belongs to the orchid family, which is one of the largest and most diverse groups of flowering plants in the world. The Burmese orchid is prized for its delicate, fragrant blooms that appear in late winter or early spring. It thrives in cool, shaded environments and is often found growing in forests at high altitudes. Due to its limited distribution and habitat specificity, it is considered a vulnerable species facing threats from deforestation and climate change.
