Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Don't let the roots dry out too much.
Comments: Parent plant: Leaves are bright green, approx. 3" wide x 7" long, pliable, with distinctly ridged veins. They are found on the upper 2/3's of the stems, which are strongly upright and speckled with dark reddish-brown. Very attractive plants, approx. 3.5 ft tall.
Pale yellow flowers are borne apically on sturdy canes to 40" tall. Flowers have starry form, with overlapping sepals and petals, petals slightly cupped. Lip has darker yellow marks and striations, and a fimbriate margin. Buds are borne apically and develop quickly. Stems rebloom. The clumps are compact and form a dense root ball. Original plants were collected in Ecuador by John Wirth, Olbrich Botanical Gardens, Madison, Wisconsin. Blooming again in April-May 2003, and the flowers are smaller and have more yellow pigmentation than when the plant blooms in cooler weather.
Recently identified by the OIC as Sobralia fimbriata Poepp. & Endl., #14,023. Distinguished from Sobralia hirta, which "has the same characters as the above, except for some purple in the throat. It may well be a synonym."

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
360 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/09/2003 through 04/22/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 20 - 65 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/02/2004 through 11/30/2004)
From one most recently surveyed flask 40 - 65 mm (11/30/2004)

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: Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
Plants were discovered originally in Peru in the department of Huánuco
where they were growing on trunks of fallen trees. The range of
distribution is now known to extend from Costa Rica to Bolivia, and
Bennett & Christenson (2001) reported a plant growing near Leoncio Prado
in the department of Huánuco in a wet forest habitat on a road cut at
about 4600 ft. (1400 m). Plants in Ecuador have been found on the eastern
slopes of the Andes in the provinces of Carchi, Morona-Santiago, Napo, and
Zamora Chinchipe growing from 1500-6550 ft. (450-2000 m). Bennett &
Christenson (2001) reported that some Sobralia species aggressively
colonize disturbed areas, but that Sobralia fimbriata does not generally
survive severe habitat disturbance.
