Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: Parent plant: As is so common for Stanhopea plants I have received, this was mis-tagged. The tag said Stanhopea avicula, which it certainly is not, but at least that is a clue since avicula is from Panama. I believe this plant to be Stanhopea panamensis based on the flower morphology alone, and this is borne out by the likelihood that it came from Panama. The strong fragrance is unlike any other Stanhopea that I know, a pleasant root beer scent, or perhaps a little richer, like a root-beer float. Medium-sized plant.

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: Panama and Colombia. Plants were originally found growing
on trees in moist mistforests around Cero Campana, approximately 50 miles
(80 km) south of Panama City, at 2950 ft. (900 m). S. panamensis was
originally thought to be endemic to Panama, but plants have since been
reported in Colombia. The species was known and discussed prior to 1983,
but it was not formally described until 1988.
