It can have from 5 to 30 large, fleshy, heavily waxy, and spicily fragrant flowers which bloom in the late winter and spring.

Sarcochilus falcatus

By Sandra Svoboda • November 29, 2025
Sarcochilus falcatus is endemic to Australia and found from 100 to 1,400 meters (328 to 4,593 feet) on rainforest trees with exposure to fairly bright light and strong air movement. These plants, which grow in areas that are always very moist, are often found near gorges and ridge tops where winds and updrafts laden with clouds, mist, and drizzle are common. They appear to be found most frequently in areas in which the soil and rocks are of volcanic origin. The strongly fragrant blossoms open in the spring and last 2-3 weeks. They have an odor described as somewhat like vanilla. Photographer: Ron Parsons (www.flickr.com/photos/rpflowershots Grower: Mike Harrison Info: Charles Baker culture sheet www.orchidculture.com
