Orchids VIII

Last week, new types of orchids came to the lab and both were of Japan origins; Sediria japonica or know as nagoran in Japanese and Epipactis thunbergii or kakiran.

Nagoran means nago orchid because it was first discovered in Nago city of Okinawa Island while kakiran, persimmon orchid because the colour of it flower is similar to the persimmon colour.
