This beautiful and strange little hybrid blooms multiple times every year. It's a small plant with flowers about 1.5 inches that grow in bunches. Ascps. is short for Asconopsis which is a hybrid of
Ascocentrum x
Phalaenopsis. I grow it in a terracotta pot with sphagnum moss. This plant is with a group of plants that sit on the windowsill in my bathroom, enjoying all the extra water and humidity. With a southern exposure they get more sun in winter than summer. Please view in the large format to really enjoy the beauty of these flowers.
