Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Epidendrum pseudepidendrum is a obligate warm-grower, not liking temperatures below 65°F (18°C) much at all. Optimal temperature range is 68°F to 85°F (20°C to 29.4°C), but warmer temperatures are easily tolerated. I grow this plant mounted, but daily watering keeps moisture pretty constant.
Comments: Parent plant: A rather typical example of a fantastic species. Overall flower color, save the labellum and distal end of the column, is bright, clear, apple green; dorsal sepal narrow basally, expanding to a concave inflexion apically; lateral petals narrowly linear, expanding slightly at distal end, inflexed moderately at distal end; lateral sepals much like dorsal, but with significantly more pronounced concave inner surfaces; labellum fused to column (as with all epidendrums) for much of its length, expanding suddenly into a broad, reflexed, egg yolk-orange lobulate midlobe, no sidelobes, margins of midlobe moderately fimbriate, five raised veins of paler yellow-orange emanate from throat of fusiform labellum and column; column of same color as petals and sepals basally, bright, glowing red distally; substance hard, texture waxy. Dorsal sepal 0.7 cm wide, 3.3 cm long; lateral petals 0.3 cm wide, 3.2 cm long; lateral sepals 0.7 cm wide, 3.3 cm long; labellum 2.3 cm wide, 3.0 cm long.

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 and Panama. In Costa Rica, this orchid is most
often found in lowlands and lower mountain rainforests at 1300-3300 ft.
(400-1000 m). In Panama, however, plants grow in Chiriquí Province at 3950
ft. (1200 m). Although fairly common in cultivation, plants are now rather
rare in nature, primarily because of habitat destruction.
