Measuring only one inch, the flowers showcase narrow sepals and petals, while the broad, fused lip forms a small nectary beneath the ovary. The Cischweinfia sheehaniae boasts a particularly enchanting color scheme, featuring a pink/violet infused lip that beautifully contrasts with the light green sepals and petals.

Despite its compact stature, reaching under 8" in height, this orchid has a remarkable growth rate, rapidly developing into a lovely specimen plant.

The Cischweinfia sheehaniae blooms twice per year, treating you to its breathtaking flowers during the spring and summer seasons.
