Different orchid species on show

Hundreds of different species of orchids are on display at the 17th Orchid Spectacular in Port Moresby.

Hosted by the Orchid Society of Papua New Guinea, the exotic flowering orchids and cut flowers add colour to the normally somber looking National Parliament.

Taking centre stage are the bright purple Dendrobium APEC PNG 2018, which were launched by the APEC Minister on Monday.

The decorative orchids and cut flowers will start selling at 3pm today.

The two-day event, which started yesterday, attracted orchid enthusiasts, florists and the general public.

The spectacular is open to the public. Entry fee is K5.
