Culture Notes from Donor: Pollen parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Grows well indoors with bright light.
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: One of the offspring from our TN6269 effort of 2008.

Pollen parent plant: Medium-sized plant. The plant came from just south of Miami, Florida; rescued from a little piece that fell out of a tree in a friend's yard there around 1980. Blooms every June; flowers last about 6 weeks. Flowers are fragrant sometimes during the day, but not all of the time.

Flask Information
Availability: We have approximately 300 plants in intermediate-stage flasks, but this may not be enough to make flasks for new requests, because we are still making flasks for prior requests.
You should: Reserve a flask now. Even though we might not have enough plants, if someone drops out ahead of you you many get a flask. If you wait, this will be less likely because you would be further down on the list.
Yield Estimate: 420 plants (based on flask surveys done 08/25/2021 through 07/29/2023)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 2 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/19/2022 through 07/29/2023)
From one most recently surveyed flask 2 - 3 mm (07/29/2023)
Expected Flask Price: $40.00 per flask of 25 (min.) plants

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: The Bahama Islands and Florida. This orchid was first collected near Tampa, Florida in 1846 and is the most common epiphytic orchid in Florida. Plants grow at low elevations in conditions that vary from dark, humid, swampy forests to high (relatively), dry, barren trees in full sun, and Luer (1972) reported that plants survive a hard freeze. Plants have been found growing on palm trees and on fence posts. In the Bahamas, plants grow in coppices on Grand Bahama Island and on Andros Island.
