The flowers are 3 to 4 inches wide, 
nearly round and of heavy texture. 
They are borne on short spikes which 
are made at the base of the new growths. 
They flower in April and May for us. 
The beautiful white flowers are fra- 
grant. 
The plant is of easy culture, give 
it about 50% sunlight, grow it with 
the cattleyas and feed and water it as if 
it were a cattleya. 
We grow most of our plants on chunks 
of tree fern fiber and suspend them from 
the roof of one of our lath-houses where 
they get all the local rain in addition 
to our waterings. 
Their long club-shaped bulbs and thin 
plicate leaves are naturally pendant

CHYSIS BRACTESCENS 

and we believe they grow best when 
allowed to hang down as nature in- 
tended. In their native forests they 
hang down from the limbs of the trees 
and make a very decorative appearance. 
They make the woods seem to be literally 
dripping with orchids. 
I think I have received more pleasure 
collecting these plants than any I have 
ever found. Several years ago I had the 
pleasure of visiting their native hills in 
Mexico and of collecting them together 
with some plants of Laelia anceps in al- 
most exactly the same spot my father 
found them some 60 years earlier. 
If you want an easily grown, easily 
flowered white orchid don’t pass up 
the Chysis. We have them in several 
sizes and prices.
