Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). A warm to intermediate grower, this plant is not fussy when given vanda conditions with lower light in summer (I grow it under the vandas) and a dryer rest in winter.
Comments: Parent plant: Mildly fragrant, this cultivar blooms for me in April-May every year. Flowers are large with a waxy texture and have the huge nectary expected of this species. Large plant. This plant is the offspring of 'Orchidglade II' x 'March'.

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. |

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: Malagasy (Madagascar). This orchid is found in the hot
lowlands along almost the entire east coast of Malagasy Island from
Taôlanaro (Fort Dauphin) near the south end of the island to as far north
as Antalaha. Plants are also reported from Sainte-Marie Island, which lies
slightly offshore of the north-central east coast. Plants grow on the
trunks of trees in light shade or diffused light at the edge of woods,
usually at less than 350 ft. (100 m). They are always found in locations
where there is plenty of air movement and are found most often on sloping
tree trunks and crotches with roots creeping over the bark and then
dangling in air, sometimes for several feet (meters). The plants grow in
coastal areas with heavy annual rainfall that is fairly evenly distributed
throughout the year with no pronounced dry season.
