This photo shows Calanthe Rozel, which I bought from CalOrchids in Santa Barbara about two years ago. It's actively putting on a new growth and I'm hoping that it will flower next February or March. This orchid grows a somewhat conical pseudo-bulb about four inches tall and two inches in diameter. It's really not a good looking plant, but the flowers do make up for the homely plant. These orchids come in colors of white to pink to red and varying combination. There is no scent (at least none that I noticed) but the flowers do last a few weeks, especially if they are kept cooler. These orchids do quite well in Souther California since they are dormant during the winter months, when they do not even need that much watering.
