Where it works
Acland's cattleya shows olive-green petals blotched dark maroon around a pink-lavender lip, over spotted grey-green leaves and bare roots, on Fitch's 1858 plate with dissections. Muted and odd, it suits a study or a den with olive, sage or chocolate walls at 12×18 in black, next to the Swan Orchid.
