Psychopsis Butterfly

[gixrj18]

This one had a bloom on it's second spike, that was going to bloom simultaneously with this one, but I think it was floating too close to the misters...cuz it blasted. My Pyp. Mariposa is a couple days behind it, getting ready to open up another one, too! This one is Pyp. Butterfly (Pyp. sandarae x Pyp. papilio).

This one is two feet tall, with two spikes, but the flowers are only about four inches....a little smaller than my others. The mount in the background is actually the center column of my shadehouse, "The Species Tree". This orchid is on a piece of wood which was hanging on the tree for a well-lit picture. The tree consists of Enc. cochleata, Enc. cochleata var alba, Enc. prismatocarpum, Enc. cordigera, Enc. belizensis, B. digbyana, Den. loddigesii, and Pyp. papilio var aurea. Here's some pics:

Hi Jason,

I like your Species tree. Looks like you got some nice wood to use and the plants like it. Good growing. Thanks for the pictures
