“Hanburyi” is named after an orchid species native to Mexico and Guatemala called Encyclia Hanburyi with lightly fragrant flowers of brownish orange and pink petals. Orchids have been on the earth for 78 million years longer than the human species and they inhabit almost every ecosystem except those with perpetual snow or extremely arid deserts. These flowers that blossom as queens of the forests and jungles possess an important ecological role. They provide food for pollinators and contribute to the nutrient and water cycles of ecosystems.
