Jewel orchids (Ludisia discolor), also known as tiger orchids, are a type of terrestrial orchid native to Southeast Asia.

While most orchids are known for their large, colorful flowers, jewel orchids stand out with their stunning leaves. I love their velvety texture and veins that create stripes and patterns.

"The orchids were collected in the wild from southwest China for private pleasure." From the delicate Hong Kong Jewel Orchid to sweet vanillas, the aesthetic appeal of orchids is obvious.
