		In passing, Ray remarked that judges in the U.S. tend to overrate Lycastes.

	Sample Chapter from our beautiful book "Star Flower Essences: The Andean Orchids"
		This is another action of Lycaste Longepetalia - when we are facing a Natural Alignment Plateau in our lives, when we have hit a hard obstacle, or an unexpected circumstance has arisen, this essence honors that sacred moment, then provides an opportunity to be still and evaluate.
		Lycaste Longipetala reconnects the Self with past life abilities and important wisdoms gained from the Lemurian and Atlantian lifetimes and is primarily earth based in its expansion.
		Lycaste Longipetala encourages us to crawl up upon its throne and look out into the kingdom of our lives, assess our world view, and release unhealthful connections that keep our bodies and spirits weighted down.

	Lycaste
		Two cultural groups are generally recognized -- the evergreen skinneri type, that flower from leafy pseudobulbs, and the deciduous aromatica type that flowers from leafless pseudobulbs.
		The deciduous species of Lycaste can tolerate a wider range, up to 95 degrees F during the day and down to 50 degrees F at night when dormant in the winter.
		WATER should be applied in larger amounts during, active growth (usually summer) than when the plants are not producing new leaves and pseudobulbs.

	Lycaste consobrina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		This is an easy to grow Lycaste, preferring warm conditions in the spring and summer, while tolerating cooler temperatures in the fall and winter, into the low 40's.
		In the southern range I have seen it near Xicotepec de Juarez, Veracruz, where Lycaste aromatica may also be found.
		Lycaste consobrina will also have fewer flowers and broader segments than aromatica, plus, the lateral lobes of the lip are rounded and broad, whereas the later has a more elongated extended midlobe/callus with more pointed lateral lobes.

		The interest in Cymbidiums and Lycastes was predominated and along with Paphiopedilums built up a unique and thriving collection.
		With special interest in Lycastes, Cymbidiums and Paphiopedilums the study of their genetics and breeding patterns has led Betty to many successes in the creation of orchid blooms.

		There seems to be no lycaste influence whatsoever.
		I have been told that there is an incompatibility factor in such crosses and these are selfmgs of the zygopetalum.

		They are a deciduous plant so as the leaves brown up to fall it is time to give less water.
		Similar to L crinita but differs in psudobulbs and leaves less robust, the disc of the lip less pubescent, and the scapes are shorter as well as found on the eastern slopes of Vera Cruz and Chiapas instead of the western or Pacific slopes.
