Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plants: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Currently growing on thick slabs of tree fern and get watered daily with my other Vandaceous orchids.
 
Comments: Both parents were purchased from the same vendor at the same time so they may in fact be sibs but they appear to have been collected rather than seed grown so who knows.

Pod parent plant: Leaves are terete and pendant about 2 feet long and 4 or 5 per plant. Only produced a single cluster of flowers from the center of the growing point. Medium-sized plant.

Pollen parent plant: Leaves are terete and pendant about 2 feet long and 4 or 5 per plant. Only produced a single cluster of flowers from the center of the growing point. Medium-sized plant.
