Comments: 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."
Donor's culture notes: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Don't let the roots dry out too much.
Unique ID: MC2116
(this will not change even if any part of the name should change)
