Stelis Pileata

Stelis pileata is a rare and delicate orchid native to the cloud forests of Central and South America. It is known for its striking white and green floral structure that resembles a miniature pine cone. This epiphytic plant thrives in humid, shaded environments and requires specific conditions to flourish. Due to its limited habitat and slow growth rate, it is considered endangered in the wild. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensure its survival for future generations.
