Trichopilia fragrans

As the name applies it has a sweet, heavy fragrance. But you have to put your nose into the flower to sence it. This particular clone is from Dominican Republic and the Baoruco mountains.
I grow it mounted on Hygrolon and in intermediate conditions in the greenhouse.

Nice! What is your intermediate temperature range?

MiKa · May 14, 2012

Thanks Marni.

Summer days 22-26°C, nights 15-17°C
Winder days 19-21°C, nights 12-14°C

This might not be T. fragrans. The flower segments are to thin and the spike unusually long for a T. fragrans.

Thanks for the temperatures.

Tennis is the one with the passion (and knowledge) for trichopilia, perhaps he will have an idea.

Oh that is stunning! I don't grow this species, but that photo makes me wish I did.
