Each leafy bract will be subtended by one or two meristem eyes, from which either a new growth or an inflorescence can develop. The background of this hybrid is a double shot of Odm. bictoniense and one shot of Odm rossii (which are both now Rynchostele, aren't they?).

Here is what Jay has to say about R. rossii

You're looking at a cool growing mountain plant. I used to grow R. rossii and R. cordatum along with the Coccinea-section Masdevallias, which is to say 50-73F and Cattleya light.

Good luck on it. Those Rynchosteles are really fun, when they bloom.
