Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Easy grower. Profuse bloomer. Interesting mushroom-like fragrance. Reed-like, thick, laterally compressed stems with tubular, laterally compressed smooth sheaths that give rise to the lanceolate ovate to elliptic, dorsally keeled leaves that are unequally bi-lobed at the apex and was determined to be a separate species from Epidendrum difforme in 1988. The inflorescence is a terminal umbel of 10 to 25 flowers occurring from the summer to mid-fall. The resupinate flowers open simultaneously. Plant originally from Countryside Orchids. Small plant.

| 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: |
390 plants (based on flask surveys done 11/12/2008 through 02/11/2011)
|
