Geocache Description:

Just vacationed in Burrell Boom and knew this area had to have a cache placed. The owner Doug is aware of the cache and so is Beverly, the office manager. Black Orchid: fact or fiction - you decide. Congrats to oak.family for the FTF!

Belize's national flower is the Black Orchid. The flower is actually not black at all but purple in color. It is one of the few Orchids that flowers all year long, maybe this is why it is the National flower. Black Orchid: Prosthechea cochleata, formerly known as Encyclia cochleata, Anacheilium cochleatum, and Epidendrum cochleatum is an epiphytic, sympodial New World orchid native to Central America, the West Indies, Colombia, Venezuela, and southern Florida. Each oblong discoid pseudo bulb bears one or two linear non-succulent leaves. The flowers are unusual in that though the labellum is usually below the column in the orchids, in the members of Prosthechea the labellum forms a "hood" over the column. This makes the flower effectively upside down, or non-resupinate. P. cochleata is common in cultivation, and is valued for its uniquely shaped and long-lasting flowers on continually growing racemes. Prosthechea cochleata is the national flower of Belize, where it is known as the Black Orchid.
