Divisions of an awarded plant. Once owned by Mrs. Pierre Dupont in the 1940s. This clone was originally known as 'Bankhaus' but was sold by Norris Powell from the now defunct 'Orchid House' in Los Osos, California to a customer and was later awarded as 'The Queen'. The list of awards is quite impressive as follows: AM/AOS, AD/NSW, SM/CSA, AM/NSW, TRO/TOGA. This plant was also awarded twice as 'Bankhouse' (misspelled) and has a CCC/AOS and an AM/AOS. This is perhaps one of the finest if not the finest green and white Maudiae that exist. Speculation is that it is a 3N or triploid which explains its vigor and large flowers. This plant can bloom twice per year or more and the foliage is quite simply stunning being a dark olive blue green with ghostly lighter areas in the leaves.
