Flowers very large, creamy white, with a rich crimson 

 blotch on the centre of the lip, produced from the top 

 nodes of the pseudo-bulbs. Blooms in May. Grow in a 

 pot with moss, or in a basket, with plenty of light and

 Our plants are grown in baskets, suspended near the apex 

 of the roof, and thrive wonderfully, and are yearly a mass 

 of bloom.
