2. Aclena

This flower with a special name is currently very famous when it was discovered in Australia because of its interesting shape that no other flower has. The "duck" orchid, also known as Flying Duck Orchird, scientific name is Caleana Major, has a very special flower shape because they look no different from flying ducks with their heads and beaks being the middle petals of an inverted orchid flower. Each flower on the branch looks like a cute little duck with red-brown feathers and a small, bright yellow beak. In some special cases, "these ducks" will have additional black and blue spots on their beautiful feathers. I guarantee that when you see these strange flowers, you will not be able to resist their cuteness.

This is a very rare orchid found in Eastern and Southern Australia, mainly living in coastal eucalyptus forests and swamps, shrubs. Sometimes people also find the tree at higher altitudes. The “duck” orchid grows to a maximum of about 50cm and has 2-4 flowers. The flowers are reddish brown, 15-20mm long, and bloom from September to January every year. In some rare cases, the flowers can be green with pink dots. The plant’s lifespan is from one to two years, each stem only flowers for one or two years, then the plant gradually weakens and dies.

The “duck” orchid reproduces thanks to insects by secreting a scent that attracts bees to come and collect nectar, thereby activating the pollen tube and pollination will take place. Because of its small size, this flower is very difficult to detect in the wild. Many collectors have tried to cultivate the “duck” orchid, but most have failed because the flower firmly “refuses” to change its living environment. The orchid's roots and stems have a symbiotic relationship with the plant part of a fungus that only thrives in the soil where the "duck" orchid originates, and the fungus also helps the orchid prevent infection, so the flower cannot live without it.
