Robiquetia mooreana is a beautiful epiphytic orchid found on the trunks of rainforest trees from 100m to over 1000m altitude in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. This painting was prepared from a plant growing in the National Capital Botanic Gardens in Port Moresby. The species deserves to be seen in cultivation more often.
