A Lycaste orchid growing in bark in a clay pot with leafless flattened pear-shaped pseudobulbs. Over a dozen lemon-yellow flowers emerging from the base of the pseudobulbs. The sepals are greenish yellow with green tips. The petals and sepals are a golden yellow. Nascent new growths are also starting to grow beneath the flowers.
Meeting this Friday! We're talking Lycastes.
Tim Culbertson will speak on the genus Lycaste, most especially, the smaller cooler growing varieties. These are wonderful plants to grow here in Santa Cruz.
