Pleione sp. (Garden orchid) – various colors

Pleione is a genus of plants belonging to the Orchidaceae family, including species of terrestrial orchids native mainly to East Asia and Southeast Asia. The name " Pleione " was borrowed from Greek mythology, where Pleione was the mother of the Pleiades, a group of seven stellar sisters.

Pleione plants are characterized by small dimensions, with narrow, lanceolate leaves arranged in a fan shape. They can produce showy and colorful flowers, often variously spotted or striped, which develop from pseudobulbs, an accumulation structure typical of many orchids.
