Culture Notes from Donor: Requires bright light (very light shade), impeccable drainage and ventilation. Use a standard epiphytic mixture in a well-drained pot. Best results from hanging the pot rather than standing on a bench. Mine is growing in a pot filled with bark, hung directly below a 50% shade net.
Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: From Borneo: Sarawak, near Kuching, 500 m. A common lowland epiphyte from Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, usually seen on branches overhanging water. It has large ovoid pseudobulbs with 2 large terminal leaves and produces pendulous inflorescences with up to 40-50 medium-size yellow lemon-scented flowers that last 5-7 days. It is capable of massed-gregarious flowering, which is one hell of a sight if you're lucky enough to see it. I once saw approximately 420 inflorescences on 7 adjacent plants, all flowers fully-open at the same time... probably 17000 flowers in total. Flowering usually twice a year.
Parent plant: This specimen is an average representative of the species. Will flower twice a year if given good growing conditions. Medium-sized plant.

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. |

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: Peninsular Thailand, Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo, Java,
Sulawesi (Celebes), and The Philippine Islands. In peninsular Thailand,
plants are found as high as 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). In Malaya, plants
are one of the most common lowland species. In Java, plants are fairly
common in the west where they grow in forest and isolated roadside trees
in wetter parts of the island from near sea level to 2300 ft. (0-700 m).
In Borneo, plants grow in wet forest habitat throughout the island from
near sea level to 4900 ft. (0-1500 m). This orchid is reportedly rare in
the Philippines, where it grows in hillside forests in Lanao Province on
Mindanao Island and in Pampanga Province on Luzon.
