The flowers bloom in April-May, clinging to tall woodland trees. The flowers are golden yellow , with orange-yellow centres.These orchids need a cool and humid climate to flourish.

    This is one of my all-time favorite orchids. Whenever I see a specimen in a botanic garden I wish I had a place to grow it.
