Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F). Cold-growing species from Costa Rica and Panama also grows fine in intermediate conditions.
Comments: This is a very big Mormodes... the specific epithet "colossus" does not refer to the flowers, although the flowers are large. The pseudobulb is massive.
Parent plant: Large plant with typical Mormodes flowers. Supposedly also goes by the name macranthum and wendlandii.

| 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: |
345 plants (based on flask surveys done 01/20/2003 through 02/26/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 25 - 90 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 09/10/2003 through 07/07/2004)

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: Costa Rica and Panama. Dressler (1993) reported that this
plant is found in Costa Rica and western Panama in the mountains and on
the Caribbean watershed. Williams & Allen [(1946-1949) 1980] reported
collections in the Canal Zone of Panama at near sea level and in Coclé
Province at 2600-3300 ft. (800-1000 m). We are uncertain of this
information, however, because Williams and Allen included two species as
synonyms that are no longer considered synonymous with Mormodes collosus
