Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Plants need to be watered and fertilized heavily during active growth, followed by a relatively dry rest period. Appreciates bright light.
Comments: This is a selfing done on flowers that appear to have the organs of both sexes.
Parent plant: Plants are found in Panama, Colombia and Venezuela. They produce fleshy deciduous pseudobulbs with thin leaves. Has large green flowers, with a cream lip placed at top of the flower. Flowers are approximately six inches across. Extremely fragrant during the morning. Large plant.
