Description... Fragrant, beautiful peachy pink blooms with three broad, incurved rear petals and further petals round the forward pointing, indeed somewhat pouting, lip. The tongue is mottled with orange red and white shades. This flowers during spring an summer. It is an epiphyte but can be grown in a pot with orchid compost. It should be fed during the growing period and the roots should not be allowed to dry out whilst the plant is in growth. Give this a partly shaded site. This is far from frost hardy and should be grown in the house or the conservatory. For the botanically minded this is a hybrid between Anguloa and Lycaste orchids.

Planting your new plant
Water the plant thoroughly when you get it home, and plant out as soon as possible. Make the hole for the plant larger that the pot it is in and the same depth. When removing the plant from the pot, squeeze the sides of the pot to loosen it. Loosen the roots of the plant, put the plant in the hole spreading the roots to encourage them to grow outwards. Fill round the edges of the rootball with soil to the same level as the surrounding soil.
Care for your plant
Plants in containers need plant food to thrive when in growth. Seek advice from your retailer regarding best product(s). Follow the packet instructions when applying plant food. Remove fading flowers to encourage fresh ones.
