Belize Orchids

There are more than 300 native varieties of Orchid in Belize, and the Orchid Garden has more than 100 of these varieties growing in its grounds, as well as numerous species of bromeliads.

Belizean orchids for the most part flower only once a year at different times, though the Black Orchid – the National Flower of Belize – flowers all year round. Their flowers are tiny, compared to the hybrid orchids more commonly seen in the UK and US, but they are nevertheless delicate, beautiful, and unmistakably orchids. They have exotic local names, like “Shower of Gold”, “Elephant’s Ear” and “The Dollar Orchid”, and for much of the year they are unremarkable little plants; but then the time comes for them to put out their long flower stems and bloom, and for a few weeks their beauty takes your breath away.

The Cow Horn Orchid (SCHOMBURGKIA Tibicinis) has a huge hollow pseudo bulb that provides space for ants to nest who in return provide protection. The peduncle which can reach up to 10 feet long grows about 20 brightly colored flowers.

The Cow Horn Orchid is often seen in the mangrove and in the low Pine Ridge area. is very capable of enduring hardship,can grow in the burning sun, hanging on the air, soaking in the water, or even in the muddy ground.

Orchid Garden Your Eco-Village Experience is hosted by Robin and Amy, a retired British couple who are on hand to ensure that everything runs smoothly, and that as far as possible every guest need is met and every question answered
