Tulip orchids are coming into season at the Conservatory! 💛

Tulip orchids (Anguloa spp.) are pollinated by shiny green orchid bees (Euglossine bees). Unlike most bees, which visit flower for nectar, male orchid bees visit these blooms to gather scented essential oils! 👃

The bees store the scents within glands in their legs, creating a unique perfume used to attract a mate.

Do tulip orchids smell human perfume-worthy? Come smell for yourself!
