Bpl. Golden Peacock
You can easily spot these golden orange flowers among the other plants. The inflorescences stand tall and carry an abundance of flowers. This is an usual cross of Epi. vitellinum x Bc. Richard Mueller. The flowers are very hardy and will last for weeks. I obtained this plant (a cutting) from Orchid Center in July 2009. Orchid Center has cloned this plant so clones should be available for sale at Shows in the future if not already. This plant with a compact growth habit will make a good specimen plant.

Could you elaborate on "a compact growth habit"? I have limited space, but that is an amazingly beautiful flower.

Compact might be misleading. I meant to say that the growths or stems grow close together. You will get a lot of growths in a small pot or basket. |
