Description: Images one and two show a pair of my pink-flowered stock specimen plant flowering in a California greenhouse. The plant for sale is a well-established, flowering (freshly opened with 5.5"/14 cm span on November 4) and spiking division shown in the third through fifth images, planted in pure NZ sphagnum in a 5” plastic net pot. Please note that every effort will be made to conserve the existing flower intact in shipping but some minor bruising may occur despite this care. The plant currently has two emerging flower spikes and should produce several more over the course of this fall and winter.Some exotic Thanksgiving color for the table! Lycaste virginalis (formerly known as L. skinneri ) is the Queen of cool-growing orchids and the national flower of Guatemala. The alba forms are known as the “Monja Blanca” (=White Nun, a reference to the column shape that resembles the figure of a nun in prayer). This is an easy to grow species if you have the right conditions, that include good water quality and cool nights. Flowers best with moderate light and well-grown plants may flower more than once a year. Flowers are long-lasting but prone to bruise if manhandled, so care should be exercised in moving the plant when in bloom. I am the process of de-accessioning offsets from a series of exceptionally good clones to free up space for breeding plants. This is a great opportunity to acquire very high-quality, “foliage clean” examples of this truly endangered orchid at reasonable prices.
