Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Best grown pendulously on a basket, or better, a natural wood branch, with plenty of room. You can always add additional medium, as plant eventually can grow pseudobulbs to 12" or more. Resents root disturbance. Give copious water and food while in active growth to maximize pseudobulb size. Avoid wetting these long lasting flowers.
Comments: Parent plant: Large plant. Flowers open widely, with killer colors!

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |

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: |
530 plants (based on flask surveys done 09/19/2003 through 03/01/2004)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 1 - 80 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 05/23/2003 through 06/09/2004)

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: Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua.
In Mexico, plants are found in the States of Veracruz and Chiapas where
they grow in shady forests at 1000-3300 ft. (300-1000 m). Over most of
their range, these plants grow in wet mountain forests on slopes facing
the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean at elevations up to about 5900 ft.
(1800 m). Although usually epiphytic, plants are sometimes found growing
lithophytically.
