Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range Warm 90-70°F, in cooler season Warm-Intermediate 87-64°F. Needs to be as high as possible in greenhouse due to pendant flower spikes. Needs plenty of light. Should be basketed (bare root or with large cork pieces) or mounted.
Comments: Very large plant has long pendant spikes with two different types of flowers. The first few basal flowers are yellow with red spots and the remainder are mostly red.
Parent plant: The plant is like a medium-large vanda. The flower spikes are extremely long, hence the classification "very large".

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
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. |
| Yield Estimate: |
788 plants (based on flask surveys done 10/28/2010 through 08/11/2011)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 3 - 50 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 10/28/2010 through 03/28/2012)

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: Western Borneo. Plants were originally found in Sarawak
where they were relatively common. They are now rare in their historic
habitats; but in recent years, populations have been found in Kalimantan
and at several locations in Sabah. Plants grow in the hot, moist lowlands,
and collections have been reported from the lower slopes of Mt. Kinabalu
on the Kota Belud side of the mountain.
