The common name is: The Butterfly Psychopsis

A medium sized, hot to warm growing, epiphytic species found in Trinidad & Tobago, Panama, French Guiana, Surinam, Venezuela, Colombia and Northern Brazil in lower montane forests, with flat, round, bilaterally compressed, brown, wrinkled psuedobulbs mottled with red blotches and carrying a single, rigidly erect, oblong dark green mottled with purple or red leaf that produces single flowers from a basal, 2 to 5 foot long, successive opening spike that has triangular bracts and can flower for years if left alone so do not cut them as they can alos produce plantlets.

I find that they prefer shady humid well watered conditions, but not to be kept too wet in the winter as the new growths will damp off with fungus. –  we water only once a month in winter.

PLEASE NOTE: Since this is a Seedling Population (not a Mericlone which produces exact duplicates), the picture is for illustration purposes only. No two plants will be the same from this cross, and they will flower in a range of possibilities coming from the two parents.
