Stelis Jalapensis

Stelis jalapensis is a rare and delicate orchid native to the cloud forests of Central America. It thrives in humid, shaded environments where it clings to tree trunks and branches. This species is known for its striking white and pink flowers that bloom during the rainy season. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, it is now critically endangered. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this beautiful and unique plant.
