The rare "Holy Ghost" orchid from Panama! This species blooms with outstanding 2 to 3 foot fall spikes decorated with round, 1.5" cup-shaped flowers with a perfect dove in the center. To add to their appeal, these flowers also emit a strong fragrance. The flowers are thick, waxy, and long-lasting. And, look close, there's a dove inside the flower!
We grow this orchid in moist potting medium of either sphagnum moss or peat moss. In the flowering or growing season more water is required at the roots. When large, the pseudobulbs can be as big as a softball! This species is deciduous by nature, so older bulbs will shed their leaves as new growths emerge from the base of the plant. For optimal growing, grow this species in warm conditions. They are low-elevation plants from Panama, Venezuela and Ecuador. In Panama, they are also used as a special cut flower in wedding bouquets. Note that this plant commonly develops black spots on the older growths. This is normal as they also eventually shed the older foliage.
The current batch is in 5.5" clear pots and was just repotted in April 2024. We expect these plants to reach blooming size by the summer of 2025. See ruler for size. Fast growing!
