Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Pollen parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F). Other sources suggest it can be grown intermediate as well.
Comments: Pod parent plant: Talk about fragrance!! It seems like whenever you walk by this beauty it gets your attention. Better have some room for it to grow though, the foliage and flowers are only 2 feet long but the roots are at least 4 feet long for a total of 6 feet hanging from a steel wire in our screen cage. It also doesn't like it below 50°F, so keep it warm.
Pollen parent plant: A nice rich yellow with good form and no signs of spots. Nice fragrance. Large plant.

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. |
