Odontoglossum

Odontoglossum odontoglossum

In the middle of the 18th century, the most expensive ever-traded orchid from this genus was brought to Europe. Converted it cost € 150,000.

The breeder, who bought this expensive orchid at the time, was also her murderer. He did not know that most species of Odontoglossum come from the high altitudes of the tropical mountains of South America and therefore need cool cultivation. A few species have warmer site claims and these the orchid breeders used to breed Odontoglossum for the domestic area.
