Scientists from Madagascar, the U.S. and Europe have described a new orchid species from the forests of central Madagascar, which has a record-breaking long nectar spur relative to its small flower size. The orchid is pollinated by a species of hawkmoth with a very long tongue, similar to Darwin’s orchid. (Article link below)

The orchid, named Solenangis impraedicta, boasts a nectar spur that reaches 13 inches in length, making it the longest of any known plant relative to its flower size. The flowers are just 3/4 of an inch long.

The nectar in this long spur is likely accessible only to long-tongued hawkmoths. As they sip the nectar, pollen from the flower is transferred onto their body, facilitating the pollination of the orchid species.

You'll find a 'blue orchid' featured on "Little Women", the new murder mystery series on Netflix. A blue orchid is found at the scene of each mysterious death! There is even a corporate branch of the criminal organization called 'Orchid Society'. Some of the series takes place in Singapore, so orchid themes dominate in the decor of hotels. The fictional orchid seems to be a based on the ghost orchid. Fairly entertaining, if you enjoy murder mysteries.
