Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos'
Psychopsis Mendenhall 'Hildos' FCC/AOS (Butterfly x Papilio)
This is a mericlone of an awarded plant, also known as the 'butterfly orchid'. This has large flowers that bloom on tall spikes (3 ft.) in succession with each flower lasting about one month, with a 2 to 4 week wait between flowerings on the same spike. I read some threads of the other members’ plants have been known to flower 10+ years on the same spike! This is a great orchid!
It’s a long wait for the three spikes to open its blooms. I had to restrain myself from overwatering. I filled a saucer with water serving as a humidity tray for the pot and if the water dried up, it’s time for me to water the plant….
