This beautiful Australian species can tolerate the heat of summer and the cool of winter. The flower spikes emerge in January and bloom anywhere from February to April, lasting 2 to 3 months. The fragrance is pleasantly similar to honey! The flowers of this species show slight variation, from a light pink lip to mottled in dark purple or crimson.
Grow in bright light and water as the mix approaches dryness. Then, starting in late November introduce this orchid into a cooler temperature rest period for the winter, allowing it to dry for a few days between watering. This cool dry rest is critical for successful flowering in spring.
We are parting with select divisions from some of our older plants in the form of keikis. As pictured each pot will include two new seedlings and they are likely to flower within 1 to 2 years.
