Mediocalcar decora Nearly everblooming The foliage is odd, with four leaves spreading in an X formation.	A spectacular species from the mountains of Papua New Guniea. Plants are covered with small, pomegranate-shaped globular flowers of orange and yellow. It makes a spectacular specimen in a very short time. All of your friends will want a piece of it, because it is not very easy to find and the foliage is quite unique. Many people have a hard time believing this is an orchid when they first see it. The plant stays low and will make a mound rather than grow tall. When mounted, as these are, it trails and branches freely. Grows intermediate to cool in moderate to bright light (but not too bright). Larger plants become nearly everblooming.	BS	$25	I-W Moist Moderate Mounted on tree fern
