Waling-Waling
- One of the largest and most unusual orchids in the Philippines, the waling-waling (Euanthe sanderiana) is native to the island of Mindanao. Sometimes called "the Queen of Orchids," this species produces exceptionally large, 5-inch flowers with intricately lobed petal formations and tendril-like fringe around the outer edges. The flowers are buttery yellow in color with ornate reddish-purple markings. It grows to nearly four feet in height with a gracefully curved flower stalk and flat, strap-like leaves around the base.
