Description
Bring the exotic beauty of the Mexican cloud forests into your collection with the Stanhopea tigrina, famously known as the “Tiger Orchid.” Renowned for producing some of the largest and most spectacular flowers in the orchid world, this species is a must-have for collectors who appreciate dramatic blooms and intoxicating scents.
The Stanhopea tigrina is most celebrated for its intense, room-filling fragrance—a complex blend of deep vanilla and spicy chocolate. Its massive, waxy flowers feature a striking yellow-cream base heavily blotched with dark maroon or “tiger stripes,” creating a bold, prehistoric appearance.
