Culture Notes from Donor: I grow most of them in spaghnum moss, but they should do well in other media.
Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: I observed these growing in Belize, mostly on a particular type of tall palm tree. They are good bloomers for me, and usually re-bloom off the same flower stem. When they finish blooming, they usually lose their leaves, and wait until the cycle begins again with a new growth.
Parent plant: Of all the batemanii that I grow, this one has the largest, best shaped, darkest colored blooms. This is a very good bloomer. On its second blooming this year, it had around 20 blooms/buds as evidenced by the photo. Small plant.
