TRICOPILIA SAUVIS 
This lovely species first described by John Lindley in 1850 flowers in late Spring. 
It has always been a favorite in orchid collections because of its Hawthorne fragrance 
and creamy white clusters of three flowers. The lip is large and furled with a ruffled 
margin. There are small candy-purpl!e spots on the lip and sides of the throat with 
yellow in the deep throat. The flower spike rises from the base of the flattened pseudo- 
bulbs and flowers over the edge of the pot. 
It grows well in a cattleya environment but should be potted like Phalaenopsis 
with some sphagnum moss as a top dressing( not as firm as cattleyas). It should be 
well watered during the growing months from May thru November. 
A very enlightening article on the oddities of this orchid is found on page 371 of 
the July, 1947 issue of the American Orchid Society Bulletin by the late Professor 
Oakes-Ames.
