    Default Psychopsis papilio var alba

    This I bought as a seedling 3 or 4 years ago and it spiked last fall but didn't bloom to this spring. It has now developed 2 more spikes which are getting ready to bloom.

    Wow, that's a very special positioning of the sepals.

    Very interesting. I don't remember seeing an alba papilio before.

    Oooh -- I've never seen an albino before.

    I picked up a psycho, I mean psychopsis at the Dallas show a couple of months ago -- mostly because my husband saw one in a display and thought both it and its name were really cool. It is spiking now -- I am holding my breath waiting for it to bloom.
