Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Mormodes are intermediate- to warm-growing plants. Since they are deciduous they require a rest. During the rest period, provide some humidity and misting because if left too dry the bulbs will shrivel; if provided too much moisture, rot will occur.
Comments: Parent plant: Waxy and unique smelling, beautiful mauve lip, birdlike shape, and very tropical looking. Large plant.

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. |
