Lite mer info från dr. Oakley:
"Lycaste angelae is a compact, deciduous epiphyte from Costa Rica, having small pale green, pink and white flowers with a short, flat, tiny callus; the broad diamond- shaped lip is slightly concave with vestigial lateral lobes. The flowers are variable in colour, and some clones are heavily spotted with pink. Up to eight unscented flowers appear with the commencement of the new growth, from the base of the previous year?s leafless pseudobulbs in May in cultivation in England. It is found at 1,000- 1,700m in light shade, high humidity. Requires intermediate conditions in cultivation, and good light. The plants should be kept dry when the bulbs have matured and especially after the leaves have fallen."
