Psychopsis papilio var alba seedlings, near blooming size.  This is the yellow form of Psychopsis papilio, and like all oncidium type things in this group, they rebloom randomly on old spikes.  So once it starts making spikes, do not cut them while they are still green.  They appreciate high humidity and good air movement, and can be grown among your phalaenopsis, sometimes a little more light.

The lore about psychopsis is that they don't like root disturbance.  The way around this is to choose media types that don't break down.  That way you can both put off repotting as long as possible, and when you do, may be able to get away with setting the whole mass, undisturbed, into a new pot and back-filling with new media.  To that end, these are potted in chunky perlite with some treefern fiber.

You will get one of the plants shown or one similar in size.  Flower photos are shown for reference only, and show siblings of the plants available.
