Miltonia Binotii (candida X Regnelii) with a rose lip. Among the 
Cypripediums were pleasing varieties of Maudiz, gigas and mirabile, while 
Cattleya Iris and C. aurea, as well as the pretty Lelia Dayana delicata, 
were all well-flowered. Brassolzliocattleya Thyone var. Joyce Hanmer 
bore a couple of yellow flowers, the lip rose-purple. 
Messrs. Cowan & Co. staged some grand examples of Cattleya

Hassallii alba, and C. Thebes (Adula x aurea) with yellow sepals and 
petals and crimson lip. The Lzliocattleyas comprised Soulange and Nanon, 
the latter with broad petals of an unusual bright purple colour. In the 
centre was a superb variety of Blc. Muriel with too very large flowers of a 
uniform mauve-pink tint, the disc of the lip orange-yellow. 
Messrs. Charlesworth & Co. staged Cattleya Hesta var. excelsa, with a 
spike of six well-developed flowers, white with violet-purple mottling on the 
lip. Also Odontoglossum crispum var. Jean, a large variety of the Doinii 
type and with the petals toothed at the edge. 
Sir Jeremiah Colman, Bart., exhibited Spathoglottis Zebrina, a wide 
selection of varieties ranging from white to golden-yellow, some with rose 
tinting on the lip. 
Baron Bruno Schréder, Englefield Green, Surrey, showed a cut-spike

a delightful golden-apricot colour.
