A low-growing orchid with pink-white flowers: narrow trumpets with a longer lower lip that is white with pink dots. The plants are very easy to cultivate and look great in a rock garden, although they also grow well in pots with airy soil and should certainly be grown in pots initially. Provide airy soil and start watering sparingly. In winter, they can be kept (just) frost-free while dormant.
