Default Psychopsis papilio

This is a plant that I got from H&R Nurseries in Waimanalo, Hawaii a few years ago. H&R crossed a Psychopsis papilio 'Yellow Bird' with a papilio 'Yellow Butterfly' to make this beautiful yellow flower. The flower has a natural spread of 6 inches vertically and sits on an inflorescence that is 27 inches long. There is a bud behind the flower which will bloom after the present flower dries up.
