Leptotes bicolor is a miniature epiphytic orchid species, which originates from Brazil and Paraguay, where this miniature orchid enjoys warm temperatures and humid conditions.

Plants produce beautiful, white flowers, which are large in size and enhanced with a vibrant shade of pink.  Leptotes bicolor flowers are often describes as beautifully fragrant.  I adore fragrant flowers and so I eagerly search for scent every time my Leptotes bicolor blooms, but I’ve never detected even a smidgen of scent from any of my Leptotes bicolor flowers.  The seed pods of Leptotes bicolor are edible, they can be used like vanilla, to flavour foods and drinks.
