The inflorescence of a Phalaenopsis orchid is a typical raceme. A raceme (/ r eɪ ˈ s iː m, r ə-/) or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in ...
A raceme is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence with pedicellate (having short floral stalks) flowers along the axis. A spike is a type of raceme with flowers that do not have a pedicel. A racemose corymb is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence that is flat-topped or convex due to their outer pedicels which are progressively longer ...
The plant lives about forty years, blooming about every fourth year. The inflorescence springs up from a corm weighing up to 257 lbs 6 oz. (117 kilograms). A corm grown by Dr. Louis Ricciardello of Gilford, New Hampshire is claimed to have weighed 305 pounds (138 kilograms) and produced an inflorescence 10 ft 2.25 in (3.1052 meters) in height.
The inflorescence, a raceme, appears in summer (late July or early August in the UK) and is borne on a stem 40–60 cm (16–24 in) tall. Individual flowers have stalks 15–20 mm (9 ⁄ 16 – 13 ⁄ 16 in) long. The tepals are whitish to purple, the ovary always purple. Most plants have a pleasant coconut-like scent.

It might seem like a simple question. But the science behind a blue sky isn't that easy. For starters, it involves something called the Rayleigh effect, or Rayleigh scattering. But that same ...
The species epithet 'racemosa' refers to the elongated raceme inflorescence of the species, which differentiates it from other species in the genus. [2] Raceme comes from the latin 'racemosus' meaning full of clusters or clustering. [4]
