The photo above is Vanda limbata orchid in Loh Liang, Komodo Island.
Although most of the land in the Komodo National Park, including dry, but this region has more than 30 species of orchids. Most of these orchids live in the mountainous forests of Mount Ara and Mount Satalibo on Komodo Island. The easiest orchid found in lowland forest, especially in tourist areas (Loh Liang, Loh Buaya da) is Vanda limbata orchid. Orchid flowers are reddish blooms almost all year, unlike most other forest orchids bloom only once or twice a year. Other orchids that can be found in the monsoon forests, especially tourist areas Loh Liang, Komodo Island is 2 types of Dendrobium orchid with white flowers and orange. White Dendrobium blooms around June, while the orange blossom Dendrobium around September, also sometimes be found blooming there in January. Orchid photos below are JJSm Disperis javanica., The only terrestrial orchid species ever found in Komodo TN area, found at the foot of Mount Ara, Komodo Island (above left); one orchid Nervilia sp broad-leaf (top right ), can be found in Loh Sebita (P. Komodo), New Loh and Loh Dasami (P. Rinca); and one of the orchid Dendrobium sp is only found on Mount Ara, Komodo Island (below).
Orchid at Mount Ara mountains and Mount Satalibo, Komodo Island is usually bloom once a year in September or December. Most of these orchids can not be identified, only a few species are already known his name. For example Dendrobium secundum and at least 4 other species of Dendrobium, Saccolabium juncifolium (Bl.) JJS, Thrixspermum arachnithes, Pholidota imbricata Lindl., Sarcanthus sp, and Eria sp. Most orchids in these mountain forests are epiphytes living, but also found at least two types of orchids that are amoebofit ie Nervilia aragoana Gaudich and Nervilia sp, which has some sort of underground tubers, when the rainy season will issue a single leaf, and after a dormant (without activities) for several weeks to issue interest around December. Information and research on orchids in Komodo National Park is still very limited, the hall (TNK) the opportunity to for anyone to do this research (as well as other research), of course, through the applicable procedures. Photo below is the orchid Vanda limbata (top left) which can be found almost everywhere in the monsoon forests in the region, especially in TN Komodo Komodo Island and Gili Islands Motang; orchid Dendrobium sp white flowers (top right) which also can be found in the valleys ( monsoon forest), especially in Komodo Island and Gili Islands Motang, but not as much as Vanda limbata; while the last orchid (below) is Thrixspermum arachnithes orchids? The new note was only found at Mount Ara, Komodo Island
