Spring Beauties of my garden

Common name: Many Flowered Fox Brush

Scientific name: Aerides multiflora

North East India is known for its exquisite blooms, particularly the colourful Orchids. Spring is the main season for these Orchids to bloom.

 In Assam the most popular Orchid is the Kopow Phool, commonly known as the Foxtail-Orchid (Rhynchostylis retusa). Bohag Bihu is incomplete without this Kopow phool. It blooms during the month of Bohag which is from mid April to mid May.

There are other varieties of Orchids which bloom little late, like this one I have posted here, blooming in my garden. This Orchid is commonly known as Many Flowered Fox Brush (Aerides multiflora). It starts flowering from late April and lasts till around little over a month.

Then there are other varieties which bloom from late May. This way the entire Spring these pretty Orchids keep blooming bringing Spring to my garden. Hence, I have lovingly named them my Spring Beauties.
