Description
The foxtail orchid is distinguished by its thick blossoms, which are composed of closely-clustering white and pink petals with a spicy scent. The name Rhynchostylis, which means “column,” is derived from the Greek words “rhyncho” and “stylos,” which both indicate “snout” or “column” because the creature resembles a fox with a bushy tail. It is a typical flower in gardens and parks and is used as a decorative.
