This vandaceous cross is an intergeneric orchid hybrid commonly known as Neostylis Lou Sneary. Neofinetia falcata is a species native to Japan and we collect them. They are rather slow growing, even among orchids. This particular plant is a hybrid between two genera. The other species in the cross is Rhynchostylis coelestis, a species native to Thailand. The Rhynchostylis tend grow faster and produce more and larger flowers than the Neofinetia. The combination produces a larger plant with very Neofinetia-like flowers, only a bit larger and with a bit more color (Neofinetias are usually pure white).
