 March. 



This is a magnificent species, which any one having a 

 greenhouse can grow. Of late years it has been grown 

 in great perfection, and it is as easy to have plants a foot 

 or more in diameter, producing hundreds of flowers, as it 

 is to grow verbenas. Give plenty of water when growing, 

 free circulation of warm air, and not too much heat 3 pot 

 in peaty loam. 



There are varieties which differ only in intensity of 

 yellow on the lip. 



This plant is one of the most beautiful of Orchids.
