The flower spike often stands 15 centimeters tall. The ballerina dancer bloom is 4–5 cm wide.


It is a cream tone with maroon patterns all around it. Additionally, the sepals and petals of the spider-like flower have hairs, and this particular variety of orchid blooms from August to September. In addition, the plant yearly grows from the underground tuber. Most importantly, plants have a long lifespan. After a few years on their own, they will reach adulthood. Two weeks will pass before the blossoms fade.
