Erect to arching racemes, 30-45cm (12-18in) tall, of 12 or more rounded to star-shaped flowers, 8cm (3in) across, often with ruffled or crisped margins, arise from the bases of the pseudobulbs at almost any time of the year, most commonly in spring. The flowers range in colour from pastel shades to deep reds, and are often spotted or marked red or yellow.
