    G.Merino, A.Douccette & Pupulin 2010.
    New Porroglossum species from Ecuador. Grow this in good light. +10°C-+18°C in winter and +15°C - +22°C in summer. Lot´s of fog and humidity. Find it easy (of all my Porros) to get to flower.

    Was this named when you got it? And how tall is the plant?

    Marni, yes it was named. I got a division from a friend in Belgium. Hope it has the correct name!
    The plant is about8-10 tall. The flower stake is about 13 cm.

    Thanks, Pontus. I haven't kept up with some of the newer species so I have no reason to doubt it. It's very nice and open flower.
