Rhynchostylis gigantea

Rhynchostylis gigantea – A spectacular fragrant species orchid that produces stunning cascading sprays of deep saturated plum-purple flowers during the winter months.

This is a Kaleialoha exclusive hybrid – a sibling cross of suspected 4N (tetraploid) parents that produces exceptional quality blooms. The beautiful deep plum-purple flowers are intensely fragrant and arranged in dense, cascading inflorescences. Specimen plants can produce hundreds of flowers at once, creating a breathtaking display that fills the air with sweet perfume.

This is an easy grower that should be a part of every collection. Rhynchostylis are relatively forgiving orchids that adapt well to a range of conditions, making them accessible to both beginners and experienced growers. The plants develop into beautiful specimens over time, producing multiple flower spikes as they mature.
