My favourite colour form just opened! The pure white lip with green throat contrasts nicely with the light pink blush of the tepals. Simply divine!
NS 14 cm
Petals 8 x 5 cm
Dorsal 7 x 2 cm
Lip 4 x 7 cm
Here you can see the semi water culture with the three layers and water tray. You can see most roots are inside. Bottom inch LECA clay pellets, middle orchiata bark/perlite/charcoal mix, and top NZ moss. Sits in water for 2 days, dries 1-2 days and then water again.
It was imported from Brazil last November and established fast in this method to bloom within the year.
Fun fact: this colour combination exists in only one other species, mendelii albescent!
