Where it works
A butterfly orchid with long red antenna-like petals and an orange-and-yellow barred lip rises over a green leaf mottled red-brown and dark purple pseudobulbs, on cream. Odd and lively, it suits a study or a hallway with olive, terracotta or walnut at 16×24 in black, with the Clown Orchid.
