Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: It grows very vigorously in intermediate to warm conditions. In my conditions humidity varies between 70% (day) to 95% (night) while light is about 4000 ft candles.
Comments: Parent plant: The flower size is about 2 1/2 inches across, and the plant is evidently self-pollinating as I have few "bugs" in my greenhouse but many capsules. The plant blooms in late fall to winter (November - January in northern hemisphere). The flowers last about 2 weeks or less whereupon a seed pod begins to swell. The pod will mature in about 6 months. The parent plant grew to blooming size in about 2 years after unflasking.

| 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: |
180 plants (based on flask surveys done 07/19/2002 through 10/04/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 25 - 60 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 01/08/2003 through 02/02/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 60 mm (02/02/2005)

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: Distributed from southern Florida, through Mexico and
Central America, the West Indies, and into northern South America as far
south as Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil. Plants grow mostly as epiphytes on
trees and rocks, but occasionally may grow as terrestrials. They are found
in both wet and dry regions, growing in tall, evergreen lowland forest, in
open fields, and disturbed forests. Plants most frequently are found at
elevations between 350 and 3300 ft. (100-1000 m), but collections have
been reported from as high as 6550 ft. (2000 m). This widely distributed
orchid has been collected many times, and a long list of collection
locations, elevations, and dates is available at Tropicos.
