SONGS OF THE ORCHIDS. 
ANGULOA CLOWESII. 
’Neath a curtain of dainty sepals 
In a cot of golden petals, 
Languorous with fragrant air, 
A lullaby lip is lilting 
Of love to the heart cradled there. 
CYMBIDIUM. 
In the singing silence of Rest, 
In the hush of a leafy fold ; 
She kindled her blossoms to blaze 
On a spike green, arching and bold. 
Wide wings in alluring fashion 
Are outstretched expectant of bliss ; 
And lips that are scarlet with passion 
Are budded for exquisite kiss. 
In the pause of a hopeful patience, 
Each blossom a shimmering star ; 
Loseth nor grace nor lustre 
For lover that laggeth afar. 
The glad green light of the springtide 
To the heart of the Summer Queen flows ; 
But the light of each blossom endureth, 
Outliving the light of the Rose.

LELIOCATTLEYA CALLISTOGLOSSA.—This large and attractive hybrid 
between L. purpurata and C. Warsc iczii will always be a favourite with 
amateurs, and, indeed, it may be said to truly represent one of the most 
popular hybrids in the warm-growing section of Orchids. It was raised by 
Seden for Messrs. Veitch, and exhibited by Baron Sir J.. H. W. Schréder at 
the Royal Horticultural Society, March 25th, 1884, when a First-class 
Certificate was awarded.
