Peristeria elata

Peristeria elata, also known as the Dove Orchid, is a botanical species native to Panama. This medium to large-sized orchid thrives in intermediate to warm temperatures with moderate light intensity. In spring, it produces striking flowers with a captivating fragrance. The plant goes through a deciduous phase, where older bulbs shed their leaves to make way for new growths. Despite potential leaf damage upon import, the plant is resilient and may naturally lose its leaves in winter. With proper care, including adequate watering during the growing season, this orchid will reward you with its stunning blooms reminiscent of doves in flight.
