Disa orchids are not carnivorous, but they are stunningly beautiful! These easy-to-grow orchids can be challenging for traditional orchid growers because they like to sit in water. We grow these as companion plants for our tropical pitcher plants. www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores

Disa chrysostachya is a orchid that has developed a unique strategy to use the feet of the sunbird to pollinate its flowers. As the birds perch onto the inflorescence to probe the flowers for nectar their claws dislodge the pollen sacs and transfer them to the next flower. #leonkluge #orchids #wildorchids #rareorchids #pollinators #bird #plants #plantsofinstagram #flowersofinstagram #flowers #hiking #hikingadventures #drakensberg #capetown #westerncape #mpumalanga #flower #plantexpeditions #plan

We love growing carnivorous plants, but who can resist a rare orchid?! Disa orchids are unusual; they are orchids that we like to grow alongside our Nepenthes. They may not be carnivorous, but they are utterly captivating! www.CaliforniaCarnivores.com | California Carnivores
