Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). I grow this species in a greenhouse with winter temps as low as 50°F, summer temperatures up to 100°F. Bright light but not direct sun, dry slightly between waterings.
 
Comments: Parent plant: This small Prosthechea-type of Encyclia originates in Mexico where it grows from 300-1500 meters as an epiphyte in oak forests, although sometimes found as a lithophyte as well. This particular plant blooms in the late spring with a short inflorescence of 10 flowers which, to me at least, have the scent of licorice.
