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 be- 
cause 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-purple spots on the lip and sides of the throat with yel- 
low 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.
