This epiphytic orchid, native to the dry oak forests of Mexico, showcases its tropical beauty with fragrant greenish-yellow flowers adorned with a striking white lip and delicate green veins. With blooms that typically appear from May to July, this orchid brings a touch of exotic floral elegance into any space.

    • Flowering Season: May to July
