Monkey Orchid

The Dracula Simia or the Monkey Orchid is also known as the monkeylike Dracula. This is a rare species of orchids which is found to grow in the cloud forests of southeastern parts of Ecuador and Peru. The orchid is called so because it has flowers which display an odd arrangement of column, petals and lip that strongly resembles the face of a monkey ?a baboon, to be more specific. The flowers bear the fragrance of a ripe orange.
