Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). It takes full sun, and I mean total, complete exposure. Likes good drainage materials. It takes a lot of water, BUT like all plants that set off aerial roots, it likes to dry off between waterings.
Comments: When my friends moved they sold all of their plants, the grammatophyllum included. The person who bought the grammatophyllum in spike promised me that he was going to self a flower and send me the seed, and he did send me the seeds. Alas the magnificent plant was divided into smaller pieces and sold.
Parent plant: This species is not for the person that has no space, or worse, has no patience as it takes several years for a seedling to become blooming size. ( 'Martha' bloomed for the first time 7 years after bought in a 5 inch pot, so the plant was about 10 years old.)
Grammatophyllum speciosum 'Martha' used to grace the entrance of a friend's farm., huge in size (the average bulb was 6 feet tall) and a prolific bloomer.

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. |

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: Burma, Thailand, Malaya, Borneo and the Philippines with
distribution extending through Sumatra, Java, and the rest of Indonesia to
as far eastward as New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Plants grow in
wetter, non-seasonal lowlands throughout the range at 2950 ft. (50-900 m).
Plants are most frequently found in the first fork of trees which have a
light canopy. While rather common through most of its range, this orchid
is now considered rare in Java, probably because of habitat destruction.
