Lycaste ciliata is a deciduous species orchid from Central and South America, admired for its elegant, waxy flowers and graceful growth habit. The blooms are typically shades of green, cream, or yellow-green and are often produced from leafless pseudobulbs during the dormant season.

The plants offered are well-established specimens. Some leaves may display cosmetic spotting, which is common on older Lycaste foliage and does not affect the health, vigour, or flowering potential of the plant.
