Bollopetalum Midnight Blue 'Cardinal's Roost' (Bollea violacea x Zygopetalum B. G. White (Zygopetalum Blackii x Zygopetalum mackayi))



Received as a double spike in bloom. Each bud took its time to unfurl and each unfurling played out as elaborately as a slow motion ballet. She then hung around for a nice few weeks. Faint green fragrance.

Gorgeous presentation- noticed and awarded by my
local orchid society.

This is my second specimen of this orchid.

Acquired from Lucky Girl Orchids by way of EBay.
