SELENIPEDIUMS 


SELENIPEDIUMS 
This group of orchids from South America, closely akin to the Cypripediums, 
has always attracted attention because of the unusual form of the petals of the 
flowers. The petals of the S. GRANDE VAR. ATRATUM AND CAUDATUM. 
extend downward like streamers for 18 or more inches. The pouch is the same 
as in Cypripediums. The flowers are borne on rather long stems 18” to 30” with 
several flowers opening in succession which gives a long period of bloom. The 
color combinations are extremely varied: greenish-white, bronzy green, rose tints, 
brown-purple. Veins are usually different color than background. Flowering 
season, spring and summer. Their culture requires deep shade. Potted with os- 
munda (brown) and charcoal. Keep moist at all times. Will tolerate much warmer 
temperatures than Cypripediums. 
This famous collection contains thirty-six species, hybrids and varieties. 
The identifications have been lost. However, the thrill of seeing these strange 
beautiful flowers is breath-taking.
