    The cross is Acacallis cyanea x Zygo Helen Ku.

    Growing badly - I have not yet found what it likes - but nevertheless 2 spikes ( one blasted, alas). I think if I did gro it well it would have far more flowers. One day I will get around to it - but if you know what it likes - please do tell ! I think my compost ( 12mm pne bark) is too coarse - maybe put it in S/H but not neat Perlite , perhaps large grit mixed with it to keep it a bit dryer ?

    But it must be worth a bit of effort, for its unusual colouring.

    It might not be totally happy yet, but as you say, worth the effort for its unusual coloring. I really like it.

    I would agree, well worth the work to figure out what it wants, beautiful bloom.
