Please identify the beautiful Eulophia sp.
A chance for E. andamanensis?


Yes it is. Beautiful plant. This is one of the orchids which sometimes can be found growing on beaches. Somehow manages with salt water or may be near fresh water sources on beaches


Thanks …, Now it is in flowering in our garden
