Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range C (52-70°F). I have mine planted in a clay pot with aliflor, and water heavily when in active growth, and give no water when growth stops until new growth begins.
Comments: Parent plant: An outstanding species, the plant stays under 6" and the flowers are just as large, held just above the plant. Flower spikes emerge on new growth before the pseudobulbs mature.

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: Guatemala near Guatemala City at elevations up to 8600
ft. (2600 m). According to Veitch, "It was discovered by Mr. G. Ure
Skinner, in 1839, in dark ravines near the city of Guatemala, and
afterwards in other localities, but invariably in a climate of which the
ordinary range of temperature is between 60-70F (15-20C), and in
situations where it is secure of moisture and constant shade." The
climate data indicates cooler night temperatures than those reported, but
it is assumed that the remainder of the report is an accurate description
of the habitat. It is also reported as being found in Mexico, in the
state of Chiapas, with no other habitat information.
