Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F)
Pollen parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
 
Comments: Pod parent plant: This is a really neat compact plant with 'flat' pseudobulbs that look like they have been run over by a steamroller. They bloom repeatedly from both old and new growths, and my plant seems to bloom at anytime. The blooms smell faintly of cucumbers. It seems very easy to grow and bloom. Small plant.
