Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F)
Comments: Parent plant: Probably the largest-sized flowers of the genus, and on a medium-sized plant, the flowers on at least one of the 2002 spikes were 7 inches (18 cm) across. Pleasant fragrance.

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: Mexico. This orchid grows on oak trees in the
well-watered, thick forests of the eastern slope of the Mexican Plateau at
elevations up to 6550 ft. (2000 m). It was originally collected near
Xalapa, Veracruz at 3300-4250 ft. (1000-1300 m), and later collections of
both the normal S tigrina and S tigrina var. nigroviolacea have been made
in the mountains near the city of Veracruz and near Orizaba. Early writers
reported the occurrence of this species in Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela,
and possibly Brazil. Cogniaux (1893-1906) reported that plants were found
near Caracas, Venezuela, and in Colombia near Bogota. Modern writers,
however, have failed to note the occurrence of S. tigrina outside of
Mexico.
