Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range Intermediate 83-60°F
Comments: Parent plant: This small plant is not more than about 9" total height. When the flowers first open they smell like freshly ground pepper and then when they get a bit more mature there is a strong spicy floral perfume that rides on top of the pepper. Many cultivars have pinkish veined lips instead of the intense blue/purple lip of this cultivar.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Brazil. This orchid is found in southwestern Minas Gerais
south of the old town of Caldas. It is found near the summit of the Serra
da Pedra Branca (Mountains of White Stone) in an area where the granite
rocks are covered with white lichens. Plants grow in water seepages in
cracks between the large, flat expanses of rocks at about 5400 ft. (1650
m) with their roots buried in the lithophytic mosses. These rocks also
serve to collect moisture from dew and nighttime mist which frequently
occur even in the dry season. This condensed moisture then drains into the
water seepages and is available to the plants growing there, so they do
not experience a long or severe dry season.
