Aphrodite’s Slipper Orchid

This is a spicy floral, variously described as cinnamon or cloves mixed with honey, or freshly mowed hay.  Exotic and irresistibly unique Aphrodite’s Slipper reveals different aspects of its character at different moments in time. Aphrodite’s Slipper is also known as Masdevallia.
 
Most of these plants are from high altitude cloud forests and require very cool conditions and abundant moisture throughout the year. They cannot tolerate dryness, low humidity, or excessive temperatures and the plants are very easy to kill.
