Most growers do not think of orchids as being succulent but this certainly is with its fat succulent leaves and bulbous base.

From Guatamala, Honduras, and Panama this species is highly variable especially with regard to flower shape and color. This particular clone is spectacular as can be seen in our photos and all plants sold are vegetative propagations of this one single clone so your flowers and plant form will be exactly as illustrated.

This will flower when leaves reach six inches in size but growth is quite slow. It has taken us six years to grow these nice large plants. Outstanding in every way and very easy to grow and flower.
