Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Like most of its cousins this fellow resents root disturbance. Try a basket with slow-to-breakdown media like aliflor, tree fern, charcoal, coarse sponge rock. I throw in a bit of sphagnum just to get things started.
Comments: Parent plant: This species is said to be a more compact form of sesquipedale. My plant is only about 12" high. Flowers open flat, white fades to yellow as they age. Usual wonderful angraecoid-type nighttime fragrance.

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: Madagascar. Hillerman & Holst (1986) reported that this
orchid is found in southern Madagascar in the same area as Angraecum
eburneum Bory subsp. xerophilum H. Perrier, which is found found among
rocks in semiarid conditions in the transitional area between the moist
east coast and the dry south. However, a subsequent collection was
reported from the north near Antsiranana (at Lat. 14.4S, Long. 49.7E).
Plants were found at 6250-7000 ft. (1900-2133 m).
