Description
Blooming size plant in a 3" net pot.
Beautiful, small (1") white, bell-shaped flowers with random purple markings and a fungus-like lip that is hinged and moves in the slightest breeze. Each flower spike produces 1-3 flowers in succession over 4-8 weeks. And, of course, the monkey-like face made up of the lip and column!
With very few exceptions, these plants flower out of the side or bottom of the basket. Regardless of how the spike emerges, we grow all the plants of this genus in net pots.
These plants are wonderful to own if you can give them what they want. Care: Cool, moist, and shady is the mantra for Draculas. We give our plants lots of light in the winter and lots of shade in the summer.
The nice thing about this group is if you can grow one Drac, you can pretty much grow them all. Like their cousins the Masdevallias, when these plants are happy they grow like weeds and are prolific flowerers.
